#CBJ LW R.J. Umberger is on the ice for the morning skate at Joe Louis Arena in Detroit. Great sign.

#CBJ LW R.J. Umberger has been placed on injured reserve, and is considered week-to-week.

Umberger was injured over a week ago so he can come off IR at any time. He has seven goals and 18 points in what should be considered a down season. He has no timetable for his return.

R.J. Umberger stepped on the ice as practice began this morning, but not soon after, skated over to Richards and the two had a brief conversation. After the skate, Richards delivered the bad news: Umberger has been diagnosed with concussion-like symptons and is likely to miss time.

Umberger was apparently injured well before yesterday but only felt the effects days later. The winger is listed as out indefinitely, which does not bode well for the Blue Jackets. He scored seven goals and 18 points in 42 games before getting hurt.

We have signed RJ to a 5 year extension. Thrilled to have such a big part of our team signed long term.

Umberger scored a career-high 57 points last season and improve even further with added playing time. Considering Jeff Carter and Tomas Kubalik are already down with assorted ailments, Umberger could find himself back on the top line sooner rather than later.
