    Default Okposo update anyone?

    Last I heard was an injury to his ribs, out week to week, and last update was on Mar. 4th. Said he was to be re-evaluated. Anyone got anything else?
    I need him back badly.

    Last I read he was still listed as "week to week" with no updates anytime soon. This was in the last day. I wouldn't expect him back anytime soon if I were in your position.

    Yahoo has him as week-to-week. Since the Sabres are slipping out of a playoff spot, I doubt they will rush one of their top scorers back.

    Ribs can be very tricky. I'd bet on later rather than sooner.

    UPDATE:
    Good news as Okposo should be ready for the start of training camp. No real word on what caused him to miss time since he was hospitalized almost 3 months ago.

    Heard the same thing, and as serious as it was, it was dealt with swiftly enough that he should be ready for the season. I've got my fingers crossed because I kept him on my team.

    Still no real news on his recovery since mid-June from what I've found on the web. I wonder if he's back to normal or if he's ''still getting there''?

    Anyone have an update on his status?

    The scuttlebutt is that Okposo's trip to the intensive care unit was due to an averse reaction to some concussion meds. http://buffalonews.com/2017/05/12/ok...tion-reaction/

    That's great news as it doesn't sound like there should be any long term consequences.

    Well some concussions are dealt with without the use of any meds. The fact that his required meds and in turn he reacted badly to those has me a bit worried as an owner (and as a fan too of course).

    It seems that the reaction has been dealt with but nothing on his ''actual state'' has been said yet. Only that he ''will be ready for the upcoming season''.
