I'd even push it back to end of Jan considering we essentially lost 3 weeks to this rash of injuries (2 for the actual recovery, although Tarik still isn't back, and 1 for the ongoing re-acclimation).

As a sidenote that you may appreciate...the way the medical staff has handled the injuries gives me a lot of confidence compared to prior years. We're addressing things proactively, not relying on imaging if it isn't indicated, and being conservative with injuries that have historically been treated far too nonchalantly (case in point: Tarik not returning to play after an ankle sprain until all his pain and swelling are gone whereas last year DLo came back the next game after a far more severe sprain...and was lauded by Byron for doing so, good grief).
