Kyle Connor has been dealing with a lower-body injury since December, after colliding with Ducks' forward Ryan Strome. While his return is not set for anything imminent, he has been skating with the team in non-contract jerseys recently during practice.
Now, that has seemingly changed. During an optional pre-game skate today, Connor was seen in a regular practice jersey.
This would be a huge progression in Connor's injury status, as he wasn't expected to return for 6-8 weeks from the time of the injury, and it has only been 4 weeks.
This is great news for Jets fans, however, they must be sure not to rush Connor back and risk further injuring him, especially when they are on such a hot streak and his services aren't necessarily necessary.
