Dwyer (lower body) was activated from injured reserve Saturday. Dwyer is set to rejoin the lineup Saturday against the Coyotes after the lower-body ailment cost him the last six games. He's tentatively slated to serve as the right wing on the third line, skating alongside Jay McClement and Brad Malone.

Coach Bill Peters said Dwyer (lower body) is expected to return over the weekend. Dwyer was cleared for contact earlier this week and should get in enough practice time before the weekend to be a lineup option for the Hurricanes. The winger appeared in just two games before suffering the injury Oct. 11.

Dwyer (lower body) shed his no-contact jersey at Tuesday's morning skate. Dwyer hasn't been available since Oct. 11 due to a lower-body injury, but the fact that he's been cleared for contact is a sign that a return could be forthcoming. The Hurricanes will have a three-day break in their schedule before their next game Saturday against the Coyotes. If Dwyer shows no limitations during practices over the next few days, he could have an outside shot at returning to the lineup for the weekend.

The Hurricanes placed Dwyer (lower body) on injured reserve Tuesday, retroactive to Oct. 11. Dwyer appeared in two games before suffering the injury Saturday. The Hurricanes have not provided much in terms of details regarding Dwyer's status, so it remains to be seen how long he will be sidelined.

Dwyer (lower body) will not be in the lineup Tuesday against the Sabres, Michael Smith of the team's official site reports. Dwyer joins Eric Staal (upper body) and Jeff Skinner (concussion) on the list of Hurricanes who will be inactive Tuesday. There is no timetable for his return at this point.

Dwyer (lower body) did not practice with the team Monday, Michael Smith of the team's official site reports. Dwyer left Saturday's game with a lower body injury that may have been a reaggravation of his previous groin injury. The Canes are already riddled with injuries, so the loss of Dwyer would certainly hurt.

Dwyer left Saturday night's game with a lower body injury and did not return. The news is certainly troubling, since Dwyer was a game time decision Saturday with a groin injury. There's no official word on the nature of his injury yet, but he could certainly end up missing some time if it's his groin that's bothering him once again.

Dwyer (groin) was on the ice for morning skate and looks set to play Friday against the Islanders, Chip Alexander of the Raleigh News & Observer reports. He'll skate on the Canes' third line, joining Brad Malone and Jay McClement. Dwyer tallied eight goals and 14 assists over 75 games last season with Carolina, production that's probably not good enough to justify rostering him in most leagues.

Dwyer (groin) skated on his own Tuesday but remains day-to-day, Michael Smith of the Hurricanes' website reports. Dwyer has been slowed by a sore groin the last couple weeks; and with him still feeling soreness and unable to practice, he may not be ready for Friday's season opener against the Islanders.

Dwyer sat out Thursday's practice with a groin injury, Chip Alexander of the Raleigh News & Observer reports. Dwyer also missed Wednesday's preseason game against the Islanders, presumably for the same reason, after playing the previous night against Buffalo. Dwyer scored a career-high 22 points last season, and is expected to reprise his role on the Canes' third line this year, health permitting.
