There’s that, too. If Andersen is out another two weeks or so, that leaves just enough time for the team to send him on a 14 day conditioning stint that would end when the regular season ends - and, after missing 5+ weeks right after returning from an injury? Going that route would feel pretty legit.
I have no idea how any of this works, but what if they put him on LTIR and then Campbell gets hurt and can't play and they don't want to run with Hutch? Can Andersen suddenly "get better" and be activated before the end of the season?
