Dislocated shoulders are a not a "you did it or you didn't" kind of injury. Sort of like sprained ankles. Many degrees of severity. Hopefully they lucked out and he was on the mild side.
I dislocated mine in college playing flag football and it felt awful and was in a sling but 4 days later I was pretty much fine.
Yeah, a woman on my cross country team fell while running on a trail and dislocated her. She was supposed to wear a sling but felt that it was too restrictive and threw her balance off. Her shoulder was sore for a week but she didn't want to miss time, so she would run holding on to her shirt collar. She had also bruised her ribs badly. We thought that she was nuts, but she kept telling us that it was just pain and that she could take it.
She was pretty much fine after a week except her shoulder still looks off.
