hi,
tingling and numbness in index finger is caused by nerve depression or damage anywhere in the course starting for origin to termination.
so it may be rotor cuff injury too.
after clinical sensory or motor examination of upper limb can reveal the site where the nerve is involved.
I find this answer helpful
