I ruptured mine back in June, and that was essentially my reaction. I was running, it popped and felt like I was kicked in the calf. I was able to walk off the field, but very gingerly.
I did not see them perform a Thompson test on his leg on the field. Cautiously optimistic it isn’t an Achilles. The cynic in me says they wouldn’t do a Thomason’s test on the field so I observers are less likely to suspect Achilles tear. And would do it in the trainer’s room where other’s can’t watch the exam.
