Ennis (groin) remains 7-to-10 days away from practicing with the team, John Vogl of the Buffalo News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Returning to practice will just be another step in a lengthy recovery process as Ennis will almost certainly need time to get his conditioning back up to a game-day level. The winger remains on injured reserve and has been sidelined for Buffalo's last 22 outings. Prior to getting hurt, the 27-year-old garnered a mere two points and was a minus-6 in 12 outings and could find himself in a reduced role once cleared to play.
