Weiss (groin) could resume practicing over the weekend, MLive.com's Ansar Khan reports. Weiss was placed on injured reserve after aggravating his groin during a conditioning assignment at AHL Grand Rapids last week, but GM Ken Holland doesn't believe it's a long-term concern for the center. Though Weiss is still at least 10 days away from being ready to play, the Red Wings will be able to send him back to Grand Rapids for another game or two since the first stint was interrupted. There's optimism that Weiss will be back with the Red Wings by the end of the month, but unless the team suffers a rash of injuries, he'll have a tough time earning a regular spot in the lineup.
