He landed awkwardly during a workout over the summer, and, you know, we’re trying as best we can to get him back, but it’s still, you know, he had some work on his elbow, and he’s doing his treatment and his therapy. We’re not, we haven’t set a timeline for his return. It’ll depend on him continuing to progress.”
