Analysis:

This is very reassuring, as some concerns arose after it appeared that he re-injured his surgically-repaired shoulder. Of course, it's not certain that he'll play in Friday's bout, but Span's confidence in his shoulder is a good sign that he'll be fine pretty soon as long as nothing else pops up.
