What happened: Kaiden Guhle is expected to miss the next four to five weeks after adductor repair surgery earlier this summer. That timeline pushes his recovery into mid-to-late October.

Why it matters: The absence runs through the end of training camp and could spill into the opening stretch of the schedule, leaving an early gap on the blue line. Guhle's health was already under scrutiny earlier this summer, and this update keeps that question live heading into full practices.

By the numbers: A four-to-five-week absence spans 28 to 35 days, putting the current return window at roughly Oct. 14-21.

What to watch: Watch for any change in Guhle's practice status once camp opens and whether the recovery window holds as October approaches.
