Mason left Wednesday's practice early due to soreness, but may have injured himself prior to that.
He told reporters it happened on a save made in Tuesday's 2-1 win over the Ottawa Senators, according to Tim Panaccio of CSN Philadelphia.
He stayed in that game and led the Flyers to a shootout victory.
General manager Ron Hextall said the injury is not related to the back spasms he experienced in December.
