"He was not feeling confident."
There's a big warning bell right there. It's hard to be called a chicken sometimes, but it's even harder to land on your neck. But, it looks like it could've been a lot worse. A landing like that is never going to be pretty, but there are a million ways it could've been worse for him. I don't know the details but I imagine he should be able to come back from it and get back into the action. This didn't look like "Magoo type" injuries, to me.
