Tyler Myers is not here as he's undergoing another CT-scan on his wrist. Update: M yers has now joined the skate a little late.
Myers continues to progress so staying on the ice should be a good sign. The big man has been out since November 19th.
“I take another CAT scan tomorrow morning,” Myers said. “We’ll know a little bit more there, if I can start leaning on my stick a lot more, start engaging in physical play. I think today was its best day.”
Myers was deemed "a ways away" by coach Lindy Ruff at the end of December. Sounds like he continues to take steps in the right direction but probably misses another week or two.
#Sabres 4-6 week timetable on Myers was always overly optimistic. Scaphoid injuries are usually 8-10, maybe 12. Tough injury.
Myers was seen skating with a parachute this morning. The big d-man is already past the four week mark and likely requires a few more weeks before getting back on the ice.
