I don't think Holder was being put at risk by playing last week.  He was either going to make it through unscathed, find he wasn't as healthy as thought and played through pain, or find he wasn't healthy as thought and decided he couldn't play through the pain or loss of proper function.  If the latter was the case, he'd probably sit out the remainder of the season.  I'd be surprised if all this wasn't discussed before he attempted to play last week.

In other words, it was probably a situation where he wasn't at risk of further injury, and he knew if he couldn't play last week he wouldn't be able to play the rest of the season, so why not just give it a go.
