Three months later with no improvement, McColl was diagnosed as having ruptured ligaments around his shoulder that caused intense pain when he raised his arm. The doctor's report read, "The movements of the right shoulder are restrained and painful, and the punching power of the right arm is very much diminished... I am of opinion that the condition is due to a rupture of the ligaments around the shoulder joint, and that it will be a considerable time before the limb regains - if it ever does - its normal strength." McColl attempted to return to the ring in August of 1904, but had to call off the scheduled match with [[Bill Doherty]] after his shoulder proved too bad to go on with it. After recovering from re-injuring the shoulder while sparring in October of 1904, McColl finally returned in June of 1905 and knocked out [[Dan Creedon]] in the first round. It was noted, that McColl had changed the way he threw his right hand due to the shoulder limitations.

Three months later with no improvement, McColl was diagnosed as having ruptured ligaments around his shoulder that caused intense pain when he raised his arm. The doctor's report read, "The movements of the right shoulder are restrained and painful, and the punching power of the right arm is very much diminished... I am of opinion that the condition is due to a rupture of the ligaments around the shoulder joint, and that it will be a considerable time before the limb regains - if it ever does - its normal strength."
