Gareth Bale and Aaron Lennon established a comfortable interval lead in the Barclays Premier League clash at Craven Cottage, but Fulham burst into life in the second half, and after forcing an own goal from Younes Kaboul in the 57th minute, created a glut of chances in the final half hour.
Redknapp, advised to stay away from football for four to five weeks after having two stents inserted to unblock coronary arteries, watched the match from home. The 64-year-old has been told to avoid stress, but Jordan believes that will have been difficult, saying: "Never mind the goalmouth scramble, that last half hour will have been a good test for Harry."
He added: "If he passes that, which I'm sure he will, he may be back a little bit earlier.
"He's got another two weeks during the international break to recover."
The biggest thrills arrived during five minutes of stoppage time topped by a chaotic goalmouth scramble that should have seen right-back Kyle Walker concede a penalty for handball.
Martin Jol claimed Fulham should have been awarded a penalty by referee Peter Walton after Walker fell to the floor and placed his hands on the ball.
"I felt we were a bit hard done by in the penalty situation. It was a penalty," said the Fulham manager.
But Jordan insisted Fulham only had themselves to blame for the outcome, though the heroics of Spurs Keeper Brad Friedel were hugely influential in the outcome.
"I don't think it was a penalty. There were a number of other areas where Fulham should look at. They had chances but they didn't take them," he said.
