No idea about the medial stuff you just said... but i agree I thought it looked like a hyperectension of the elbow... but I noticed when trainers got there he was pointing to a low spot on his outside of right shoulder which I thought was odd (because to me it looked clearly elbow). Also i wonder if he was pointing at the very tip top of his tricep muscle or a very low spot on his shoulder, but they're reporting shoulder so....
So if you tear your elbow like some guys tear their knees do you think guys could wrap it up and go play a full season? (I honestly don't know and I'm asking)

If you have sprained or torn ligaments in your elbow, you should be able to wrap it up to the point of immobilization and he should be able to play on it. The problem with playing an entire season with something like that is that from a decreased ROM due to pain (when the immobilization is off) he could develop calcium deposits, like bone spurs, muscle contractures, and a number of other things. It just depends on how badly injured he is. If it is bad, even if he feels able to go, I'm thinking they would discourage him heavily and call for surgery. That's if it would be really bad, and if it would be in the elbow.
As I said, I kind of doubt that 🇲🇲 would lie about saying it is the shoulder when it's actually the elbow, so I believe 🇲🇲 when he says it is his shoulder. Like I mentioned before, if it is a Bankart lesion then he'll be in for surgery and probably out for the season. Here's hoping that is not the case.
Wikipedia Bankart Lesion if you want more info on it, but according to my Orhopaedic Rehabilitation book, "A relative indication for surgical intervention is a younger patient, especially an athlete who desires continued participation in sports activities". Rehab would be intensive with return to sports in 6 months, maximum improvement in 12 months.
Sorry guys. Don't shoot the messenger.
EDIT: This is only if he has a Bankart!!!!
