Narrative:

Pushed back from gate in las on schedule with uneventful taxi for takeoff on runway 25R. 2 mins prior to takeoff checklist items were completed up to taking the runway and I began monitoring the safety video. It was the tape with combined english and spanish. At 1 1/2 mins prior to takeoff when the tape began briefing the life vest, this was not an overwater flight and the aircraft had no life vests onboard. I gave the prepare for takeoff PA. The #1 flight attendant called and said that the video was not over. I informed her that the life vest portion was not required and to prepare for takeoff. By the time that conversation was over, the video had completed. We were still on the parallel taxiway abeam B-2, and we were cleared for takeoff. Taxiing very slowly, we completed our checks, taxied onto runway 25R and commenced the takeoff. After takeoff at the end of the sterile period, the #1 flight attendant called and notified me that one of the other flight attendants had injured herself returning to her seat in a hurry. She later informed me that it was the #2 flight attendant and that she had possibly pulled a muscle in her thigh but would be able to complete the flight without further assistance. We were met at the gate by the ZZZ flight service manager on duty. I spoke with her and told her what had transpired and that I would be filing a report and talking to one of the ZZZ chief pilots. I then spoke with a ZZZ chief pilot in the flight office and notified him that I would be filing this report. Lessons learned, in the future, I will make it part of my briefing to the #1 flight attendant that, if the flight is not overwater and we are close to takeoff, I may make the prepare for takeoff PA over that part of the tape and that will be their signal that we are 1 min from takeoff. Supplemental information from acn 579031: I continued on to atl on the same flight and noticed all of the flight attendants were the same ones on our flight from las.
