There does not look to be a crack anywhere on that cheek. Just grain lines and deep gouges/scratches.
There are no forces that would create damage in those areas. Except for climate acclamation and the wood shrinking, and that would only cause very fine hairline cracks.
If you want to be completely sure, the action should be removed and the head fo the stock inspected. But, based on the photo of it, I do not think there is any damaged there.
