To your larger point, though, yes, I think it's the left side of it that was dislocated. Just saying this all to share that it may not limit his shoulder range of motion as one might think since the injury was more centrally located.

I think what would impact the range of motion in his shoulder isn't the injury - it's the immobilization.
I suspect after the surgery he had to keep that left arm/shoulder in a sling and couldn't move it. You do that for a period of weeks, that joint freezes up quite a bit. Nothing a premier athlete with top shelf training/rehab can't break loose, but it takes time.
That's where my concern regarding his recovery time has always been - how long will it take to get full range of motion back in a shouler that's probably been immobilized for at least a month and maybe longer?
