Injury Report: Atkinson placed on injured reserve

[Nordique]

Cam may be out for at least a month. The groin isn't responding. He played 33 games in Springfield with no problems. Gets injured the first day of practice here. I would bet anything that the reason for the injury was poor ice conditions.

Seriously? I had no idea it was that severe, I was hoping to see him back next week.

@cbass2632 "thanking the bluejacket fans for the shout out here on twitter.. also good luck to the boys who got called up today. #giver****tt"

Looks like some players in Springfield have been told they are being call up, but nothing official from the Jackets so far.

“@Aportzline: Told today that #CBJ RW Cam Atkinson has a high-ankle sprain, could be 2-3 more weeks out of the lineup.”

 

[Seedtype]

Man, I hope this doesn't mess his speed up. I think we all want to see this kid succeed.

 

[CBJWerenski8]

Ugh high ankle sprains can hamper his entire year

The ice in the Ice Haus is right up there with the best ice I've ever skated on.

Rick Nash, Kristian Huselius, Mark Dekanich...

CBJ and high ankle sprains are never just a month.

Yep. I mentioned this in the other injury thread. This will probably affect him for the entire season.

He's done for this season. Wait til next year.

Amazing long-distance diagnosis, Little Doctor Sunshine!

Mad skillz! Atkinson probably won't be 100% this season, but if it's a sprain he should be back.

Agree. Interesting that the first two guys hurt, Atkinson and Calvert, both played during the lockout, but are the two smallest guys on the roster. There may be something said for not becoming too dependent on undersized players.

From the small sample size of evidence it does look that way. Fortunately I don't think their size was a contributing factor.

Be careful, JAM!

I've heard of men with healing powers who can cure you by glaring at you through your television screen. Surely diagnosis is just as straightforward?

Admittedly, the dread words "high ankle sprain" have me in a similar "well, there goes his season" mindset, but that's more unworthy paranoia rather than sober analysis.

Word.

The high ankle sprain doesn't likely have much to do with his size anyways (if anything I imagine smallish players suffer from that injury less). Both players were very aggressive on the forecheck though, maybe there is some correlation there. On the flip side, I think Cam sent 2 Red Wings to the locker room in the home opener...innocent plays, but hits he initiated none the less.

 

[Matt]

Cam has always played a big game even if he is short

any chances we see boooone up this yr sure like to see that

No, I don't think so. Besides, I believe once a Jr. player is sent back to his team he can't be recalled until the season is over. CBJ won't waste a contract year on Jenner for a few games in what is amounting to an evaluation/adjustment season.

The only circumstance where it's allowed is an emergency call-up, but I don't know exactly how that works

@Aportzline "As #CBJ practiced in Nationwide Arena, RW Cam Atkinson skated by himself in Ice Haus. He's out Tuesday, not likely back for a week or so."

@RobMixer "Richards said Aucoin, Nikitin and Atkinson are all "progressing" with their injuries, but none will be returning tomorrow. #CBJ"

Cam Atkinson expected back this weekend per rotoworld. Sorry, is hopeful. Still promising news.

Cam Atkinson (ankle) is hoping to rejoin the Blue Jackets' lineup on Sunday or Monday.
Atkinson was initially projected to miss another two-to-three weeks as of Jan. 30, so he appears to be ahead of schedule. He has a goal in three games this season.

 

[EDM]

It is good to hear he is progressing ahead of schedule. I just hope he does not push it so much that the ankle is more vulnerable to re-injury.
