Hello, 2-3 Days Ago I Rolled My Ankle On Some

Hello, 2-3 days ago i rolled my ankle on some uneven grass whilst playing football. I heard a loud crack like a snapped twig, and there was some initial pain (6.5/10). I stopped playing immediately, and when i saw the swelling my first thought was that it could be ligament damage. However it wasn't long before the pain subsided and even the next day i was able to walk on it with minimal pain quite easily. Since then the swelling has turned to massive bruising, but i still have 95% of the movement in my ankle with not much pain. Does this mean that even if it is a ligament rupture, it could be fairly minor and possibly need around 2-3 weeks before playing football again?
