I've fractured my cheekbone, granted I don't know how bad off he is, but it took about two weeks for my swelling and bruising to go away and I had no negative physical side effects (for years until that eye's vision started degenerating faster than the other) but it was definitely more than "a few days" and faaaaaaar short of months. Calm down. Also, he's filming a post apocalypse movie, they can make most injuries work for it somehow if they wished to, same with Teen Wolf. Give him an off screen injury (as happens a lot look at Parrish) and all would be fine.

He also has an orbital fracture (Damaged eye-socket) according to the same source. These take ~3 months to heal fully, and given how stunt intensive the Maze Runner is I doubt they'll start filming until after that time.

I'd say he will probably head back to LA to recover during that time. They can still film the same Stiles-stuff they were originally in a few weeks once he has recovered a bit (and without being limited to weekends). Writing in an injury shouldn't be so hard, since MTV released an interview that basically says Stiles is going to get fucked up in episode 1 of the new season (even talks about something major for the Sheriff). Unless he dies and they planned a ghost story, I think they could easily write in an injury and likely will. TW is much less physically intensive so he may be able to return and do that a bit sooner.
