rear brake cable

My rear brake cable doesn't spring back like it's supposed to. When I release the brake pedal, the pedal springs back into position, but the cable only moves a small amount. I unhooked the cable from the lever at the back (on the brake drum) and the lever springs back and forth fine by itself, so I don't think that's the cause. The little rubber boot on the pedal end of the cable appears to be torn. Could this have anything to do with it? I'm hoping there's an easy fix.
