He was unable to continue participating in practice. Within 24 hours of injury swelling and bruising developed in the groin, extending to the mid-thigh. Pain at rest had mostly resolved after a week, but he still complained of pain with overreaching while walking, as well as weakness in the proximal thigh and a slight limp.
