I would think you would have to do an MRI to find it, and if they weren't suspecting it, would it be something that would stick out? I'm asking because I'm curious. And I'm not saying it's the case he was hiding it, but I wouldn't put it past any player.
I am not a doctor, however, my understanding of these evaluations is they are going to generally test your range of motion and such which if you've ever torn your pec you know getting that arm opened up away from your body is going to cause you to grimace. That said, I am sure if the first weight he touched he got hurt it would have been fishy so I am going to probably give him the benefit of the doubt. I am guessing next week the league as a whole will see a lot of soft tissue injuries as they get into more football type drills because of he disrupted off season.
