Also yes.
That's not to say you can't be out with just a contusion. A deep bruise is certainly something that could hurt affect athletic performance. But the timing of it (magically happened right when Pearce got off the DL) leads me to believe it's just an excuse to create a spot on the 25 man without having to DFA or option anyone.
