Byram (lower body) hasn't begun to skate, according to Peter Baugh of The Athletic.
EDGE Analysis
Byram last played on Nov. 4 because of the injury. If he's not skating yet, then it seems safe to say that Byram's not close to returning. When he is ready to play, the 21-year-old should serve on one of Colorado's top two pairings.

Byram (lower body) is listed as week-to-week, Peter Baugh of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Byram was a late scratch for Saturday's game against Columbus and was initially considered to be day-to-day. It is unclear how long the 21-year-old blueliner will be unavailable, but he shouldn't be expected to play when the Avalanche open a three-game homestand Thursday versus the Predators. Byram has contributed five points in 10 games this year.
