The article says he recovered in a couple of days with ice and meds. He didn’t break ribs. Bruised? Probably. A broken rib is incapacitating and takes at least 6 weeks to heal.

I got a broken rib while on active duty. I was given Ibuprofen, given 48 hours quarters, and had to go back to duty....

A broken rib will hurt every day for six weeks.

I have heard that bruised ribs only hurt for a month. 😄

I’ve only had the broken kind. Seriously one of the worst pain experiences ever.
