He is not on the IR yet. But by the sounds of his injury he will probably be placed on IR retroactively at some point. Problem is, if they aren't sure whether he will be out long enough to be put on long-term IR (which gives them cap flexibility) they may not put him on regular IR unless they want to bring someone up from the AHL to take his spot on the roster. They've already got Whitfield (a forward) regularly sitting as a healthy scratch even with Savard out.
