Weegar (undisclosed) skated after Wednesday's team practice and is still considered day-to-day, Jameson Olive of the Panthers' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Although Weegar hasn't been officially ruled out, the fact that he is still unable to get on the ice with his teammates doesn't bode well for a potential return to the lineup against the Flames on Thursday. Even once the blueliner does get the all-clear, he may be forced to split time with Josh Brown and Ian McCoshen.

Weegar (undisclosed) is questionable to face the Lightning on Sunday, Jameson Olive of the Panthers' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Weegar reportedly is day-to-day with his injury, but it's not clear whether he's sustained a new injury or if he's still bogged down by a concussion that kept him out for four straight games before the defenseman returned last Saturday. Either way, expect a quick turnaround in terms of evaluation since the Panthers are scheduled to play on back-to-back days.

Weegar (concussion) will suit up Saturday against the Golden Knights, Jameson Olive of the Panthers' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis

Now, he'll reportedly replace Ian McCoshen against a Vegas team that is typically strong on the forecheck. Weegar is a desperation fantasy play as the owner of seven points and a minus-5 rating through 42 games.

Weegar (concussion) is expected to be activated off injured reserve and should be in the lineup Friday versus Nashville, George Richards of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
The All-Star break played a key role in limiting the number of games Weegar missed with a concussion. The defenseman was injured back on Jan. 15 but only missed three games. Consider him good to go ahead of Friday's home game versus the Predators.

Weegar (concussion) has been placed on injured reserve, per the NHL media site.
EDGE Analysis
The move will force Weegar to miss the three games remaining on the team's schedule ahead of the All-Star break. That will allow him a full extra week of rest, as the Panthers don't return to the ice until Feb. 1. There's a decent chance Weegar will be ready for the start of the second half, though the team should monitor his progress and provide updates as Weegar progresses in his rehab.
