Is it broken?
 
Take your index finger and very gently press the bottom of his foot to make the leg retract. See if there is pain, discomfort, something not feeling right, or limited range of motion. Pay attention if the toes act right and flex a little.

It’s important that you don’t cause more injury. If he shows any pain or discomfort stop right away. Pay attention to exactly what point of motion and where the pain may come from to try to identify the injury.

If he were mine I’d give him an epsom salt bath in tepid water. It helps with many things including joint & muscle problems.
