The Red Wings reassigned Ericsson to AHL Grand Rapids on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Ericsson will likely continue to bounce between levels throughout the campaign as one of Detroit's go-to injury-replacement options, but he won't have any fantasy value in 2019-20.

The Red Wings recalled Ericsson from AHL Grand Rapids on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Ericsson missed the first chunk of the season due to an upper-body injury, and he was immediately sent to minors once healthy. The Red Wings have piled up injuries on the blue line, however, so the 35-year-old will get another shot with the big club. His rearrival in Detroit shouldn't concern fantasy owners, as Ericsson posted five points and a minus-10 rating over 52 games last year.

The Red Wings placed Ericsson (upper body) on waivers Tuesday, Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet reports.

EDGE Analysis

Ericsson has yet to suit up this season due to an upper-body injury, but his placement on waivers suggests he's now healthy and ready to play. However, he's clearly not going to be a part of the Red Wings' plan for their blue-line corps in 2019-20, and can be ignored in all fantasy formats.

Ericsson (upper body), who's still on injured reserve, isn't in the projected lineup for Thursday's game against the Flames, NHL.com's Aaron Vickers reports.

EDGE Analysis

Ericsson has yet to play this season due to an upper-body injury and at this point there's no telling when he might be ready to make his debut. The 35-year-old vet will need to be activated off IR before joining the lineup, so expect another update on his status once that occurs.

Ericsson (undisclosed) isn't in the projected lineup for Tuesday's road game against the Canucks, Kevin Woodley of NHL.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Despite participating in Monday's practice, Ericsson's season debut will be put on hold for now. His next chance to gear up is Thursday's road matchup against the Flames.

Ericsson (undisclosed) appeared at practice Monday, Dana Wakiji of the Red Wings' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Ericsson has yet to make his season debut as he continues dealing with an unknown injury. His presence at practice means he should be getting close, but it's unclear if he'll be ready for Tuesday's game in Vancouver.

Ericsson (undisclosed) was placed on injured reserve by the Red Wings on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Ericsson has yet to make an appearance in the lineup through two games to start the season, and as evidenced by this news, will have his 2019-20 debut delayed further. He'll now need to sit out a minimum of a week, and in his stead, it's likely that Madison Bowey and Dennis Cholowski could see extended time in the lineup.

Ericsson (undisclosed) will not suit up for Sunday's contest against Dallas, Dana Wakiji of the Red Wings' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Ericsson will be unavailable for the second straight game to start the season after missing 30 games during the 2018-19 campaign. Detroit will have a day off before Tuesday's game against the Ducks.

Ericsson (undisclosed) will miss Saturday's road contest in Nashville, NHL.com's Robby Stanley reports.

EDGE Analysis

The veteran defenseman skated on his own Tuesday but still isn't practicing with the team, so a return doesn't appear to be imminent for Ericsson, who continues to be hampered by an undisclosed injury. He could return for Detroit's home opener Sunday, but that seems unlikely at this point.

Ericsson (undisclosed) skated Tuesday, Ansar Khan of MLive.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

While it's good to see the veteran defenseman back on the ice, the Wings likely need to see him log at least one full practice before declaring him fit to play in a game. Detroit opens the new campaign on the road against Nashville on Saturday, which affords Ericsson some extra time to recover.
