Jaws 2 Question (Minor Spoiler)

This is more of a behind the scenes question. If you recall in Jaws 2, Brody's eldest son Mike is out on the sail boats with his friends when the shark attacks. During the commotion, he is knocked unconscious. One of the boats still works and two guys take him back to shore. He is out for the rest of the movie.

From a screenwriting perspective this makes no sense. Mike was the only character (other than Brody sr) that the audience really gets to know and he gets benched at the start of the final act?

What I am wondering is if there was some behind the scenes reason for this. My theory is that in real life the actor couldn't finish the film for some reason and they just finished it without him. Possibly going back to shoot the scene of him being knocked out.

Does anyone have insight into what actually happened? If anything happened?
