Assuming Merc gets proper medical attention within a reasonable timeframe, he could theoretically recover fully from the injury. Might put him out of action for the better part of several weeks/months (which could actually be kind of interesting if he has a hospital scene where he wonders if this is what he really wanted in life and it leads to the start of a heel-turn), but he has a reasonable chance of coming back from it.
