Report: Myers to miss another 6-8 weeks after undergoing surgery
by Justin Cuthbert from on (#2BV3C)
The Winnipeg Jets will wait longer for the return of Tyler Myers.
The towering defender underwent surgery Monday to repair a lower-body injury, which will reportedly cost him another six-to-eight weeks of action, according to TSN's Sara Orlesky.
At the earliest, this puts Myers on track to return with only a few weeks left in the regular season. He's already been absent from the Jets' lineup for nearly three months after suffering the injury in a loss to the Colorado Avalanche on Nov. 11.
He's missed 39 games.
Orlesky notes that Monday's procedure was unrelated to the one Myers had done last year.
