Byram (concussion) skated before Sunday's practice and is feeling good, Peter Baugh of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

It's unclear whether Byram, working his way back from a concussion, will be ready to play Monday against Ottawa, but he certainly seems close to rejoining Colorado's lineup. The defenseman has tallied three goals and five assists in 11 games this season.

Byram (concussion) will not be in the lineup Friday against Seattle.

EDGE Analysis

Byram will miss his third consecutive game while dealing with the concussion. He traveled with the team on its brief two-game road trip, but it's still unclear as to when the young blueliner might be able to return. Look for Byram to log one or two full practices before making a jump back to game action.

Byram (concussion) linked up with the team for its two-game road trip but won't be in the lineup versus Vancouver on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

The fact that Byram is with the team is certainly a step in the right direction but the Avs will no doubt play it sage given his concussion history. Once given the all-clear, the 20-year-old defenseman will no doubt be eager to resume racking up points after tallying three goals and five assists through 11 games this year.

Coach Jared Bednar revealed Monday that Byram is in concussion protocol and won't skate until he feels better, Peter Baugh of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Byram's extensive concussion history is troublesome, especially for a 20-year-old, so the team will understandably take the cautious approach with the 2019 fourth-overall pick. The blueliner can be considered out indefinitely, with an update on his status likely to surface once he's cleared to resume skating. Colorado had apparently been mulling over the possibility of trading Samuel Girard due to Byram's emergence, but Girard should now get an extended opportunity in the top four and on the power play while Byram recovers.

Byram (upper body) won't be available for Saturday's game versus San Jose, Peter Baugh of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Byram practiced fully Friday after taking an elbow to the face during Thursday's win over Vancouver, but he evidently isn't feeling well enough to play against the Sharks. Byram's dealt with concussion issues in the past, and the Avalanche are fearful he may have suffered another one against the Canucks. If that ends up being the case, he could be facing a lengthy absence.

Byram (upper body) practiced in a full capacity Friday and has a good chance at playing Saturday against visiting San Jose, Peter Baugh of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Byram was hit in the face with an elbow Thursday while playing just 4:56, and his history of concussions is extra cause for concern. It sounds like the 20-year-old WHL Vancouver product woke up feeling great and wasn't limited at practice Friday, so as long as he doesn't experience a setback, he should play Saturday.

Byram (upper body) will be evaluated Friday after leaving during the first period of Thursday's win over the Canucks, Peter Baugh of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Byram took an accidental elbow to the face and was ruled out for the remainder of the game. Colorado head coach Jared Bednar acknowledged some concern that the injury could lead to a concussion. The 20-year-old played just 19 games last season partially because of a concussion, so there's history. "He'll get re-evaluated in the morning," Bednar told Adrian Dater of Colorado Hockey Now. "He left the game after the hit. We'll see what the symptoms are." Byram has been one of the most consistent players over 11 games for the Avalanche, which has endured several injuries and an up-and-down start to the season.

Byram (upper body) will not return to Thursday's game versus the Canucks, Peter Baugh of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Byram went hard into the boards after a collision with Bo Horvat late in the first period. The 20-year-old Byram has struggled with injuries early in his career, which makes this a discouraging situation for the defenseman. More information about his injury should surface prior to Saturday's game against the Sharks.

Byram scored twice on six shots, added an assist and blocked three shots in Wednesday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Blue Jackets.

EDGE Analysis

With Cale Makar (upper body) on injured reserve, Byram led the Avalanche's defensemen with 24:45 of ice time. He made the most of the extra responsibility, tallying in the second period and scoring the game-tying goal in the third to force overtime. He also had a shot that J.T. Compher tipped in for the Avalanche's third goal. Byram is up to three goals, eight points, 17 shots on net, 13 hits, nine blocks and a plus-5 rating in nine contests. The fourth overall pick from 2019, Byram should serve as the team's top blueliner for the length of Makar's absence, so he'll be worth an add in standard fantasy formats.

Byram had an assist, three shots on goal, one hit and one blocked shot over a season-high 26:07 of ice time in Tuesday's 3-1 loss to the Golden Knights.

EDGE Analysis

Byram had the secondary pass on Colorado's lone goal, giving him five points for the season, tied for second on the team with Mikko Rantanen behind Nathan MacKinnon (six). The rookie defenseman picked up extra time on ice with Samuel Girard (upper body) unavailable.
