I have a torn labrum in my left hip. I think the experience with this type of injury can vary widely. It doesn’t necessarily impede me athletically in so far as my mobility and strength aren’t restricted. However, there are certain activities that do cause me considerable pain after the activity, like running. The pain typically emerges three to six hours after the activity in question. I can easily see how Costello could have incurred this injury and played the rest of the season on it with some post-game and practice pain, and deciding to get it fixed after the season.

This is pretty much my thinking.  He's been dealing with it for a while, played through it, and decided to get it fixed in off-season.
