Reimer still 10-plus days away.
Reimer continues to make progress but needs a few weeks of practice before he gets back into a game. It sounds like the Leafs are playing it slow with their starting goalie.
"I thought I was getting better and I thought the way it was going along and the way it was progressing that I was going to be ready to go, but things just kind of plateaued and they've plateaued ever since," he explained. "And now finally the last week the symptoms have kind of been getting better. It's been great and I've felt great the last five days."
Reimer continuing to practice is a welcome sign for fantasy hockey owners and Leafs fans alike. While he has no firm timeline to recover, he is expected to take part in a full practice this Thursday.

James Reimer's return appears no closer to fruition as the Leafs' crease continues to wobble in his absence.

Reimer remains no closer to returning to his concussion as he remains sidelined indefinitely. His statistics -- 2.58 GAA and .912 SV% -- are much better than those of his successors. Look for the Leafs to make a move should Optimus Reim remained sidelined.
