Rib fractures are extremely painful but can be managed with pain meds, anti-inflammatories, and occasionally nerve blocks. I think the actual lung injury is of more concern here.

Does the fact that he remained in pads and helmet on the sideline signal it’s a contusion or a small puncture versus a bigger hole?

Seems like the severity of the lung will really determine how long he’s out?
