If he got bit in the chest area, you have to check and be sure that it didn't also tear a hole in his crop. If he has a hole in his crop, you just as well put him down.

Do you think it would be ok to eat him or would it be too risky

I accidentally poked a hole in a young tom's crop last year. Because I knew what happened, I processed him immediately. By waiting until he showed signs of being ill you have allowed him to possibly develop infections. Just the way I do things but I don't eat sick poultry.
