From Jason Frakes interview with St Xavier's Coach Wallace online at Courier-Journal.com:

"The weirdest part is that we don’t know,” Wallace said when asked how the injury occurred. “He thinks he might have hit it on somebody’s helmet after he threw a ball.”

Wallace said the original prognosis was that surgery would be required and Sullivan would miss the entire season. But he said doctors and Sullivan’s parents are considering another plan that could have Sullivan back for the Tigers’ home opener Aug. 31 against Bowling Green.

St. X has its open date Aug. 24.

“I think they’re going to see how the healing process is going,” Wallace said. “From a coaching standpoint, the most important games of our regular season are our district games (starting Sept. 21 against Pleasure Ridge Park). My hope is he can be healthy enough to be back to himself by that time.”
