At this stage, Flyers have no reason to activate Sean Couturier from injured reserve

It has been 14 months since Philadelphia Flyers center Sean Couturier last suited up for a game. Couturier, arguably the Flyers’ best player, has been out of commission for over a year due to a pair of back surgeries. He underwent surgery in February of 2022, knocking him out for the remainder of the season, and in October, the Flyers announced the 30-year-old underwent another back surgery, giving him a rough timetable of 3-4 months to return.

Well, it’s been nearly four full months since Couturier’s second back surgery, and there’s still no word on when, or if, he can be expected to return.
