Progress update
He never returned from this concussion. The recurrent calf strain recorded separately on 19 April — described at the time as having been noticed while he was progressing through concussion protocols — ruled him out before he played, and his first game back anywhere was for Peel Thunder on 31 May, which belongs to the calf recovery. The 21 April date reflected a clearance, not an appearance, so the return date is left empty.
