You iced - right? 20 - 30 mintues on with compression and 1 hour off for the first 48 - 72 hours?

Any discoloration?

You have a little strain (tear). I would asses it again after about 4 days (poke around and move it around some and see if it hurts). If not really that much, start some GENTLE stretching and you can try some massage. Ice afterwards.

Expect to take 3 - 4 weeks away from chest and pressing for shoulders.

Killer said it all. Ice.

You can try and promote healing by going 10 ice..10 heat for a few rounds. It increases the blood flow to that area.

Take care of yourself and don't push it.

Trust me, you will need more than a week. If you do try something in a week, go very, very light.

I have seen many people make the injury worse after laying off for 1 - 2 weeks, then they are out 4 - 6 = 2 months off! Be smart my man and live to fight another a day.

Yup, a slight strain or slight tear. We would call it a Grade I.

From what I have seen in other people (and myself) usually about 2 weeks off is what you will need, maybe 3.
