New York Rangers<\/a> defenseman Adam Fox<\/a> is being placed on long-term injured reserve with an upper body injury that is considered week-to-week, sources told ESPN.<\/p>\n

Sources said that after Fox received a second opinion on Sunday, the injury was not believed to be long term and should not affect his availability for the Olympics in February.<\/p>\n

However, going on LTIR means Fox will be sidelined for at least 10 games and 24 days.<\/p>\n

Editor’s Picks<\/a><\/p>\n

Fox had an assist in Saturday’s 4-1 loss<\/a> to the Tampa Bay Lightning<\/a> before leaving the game early after getting checked into the boards by Brandon Hagel<\/a>. The 27-year-old appeared to be favoring his left arm on the way to the locker room and did not return to the game.<\/p>\n

The defenseman has three goals and 23 assists in 27 games to tie him with Artemi Panarin<\/a> for the team lead in points (26) this season. While it was somewhat of a positive update considering how serious the injury appeared, it is not ideal as the Rangers (13-12-2) sit outside of playoff position and now will be without their top defenseman until at least around Christmas.<\/p>\n

Olympic rosters are due on Dec. 31. Fox, a Long Island native, was on Team USA’s roster for Four Nations last February.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Emily KaplanDec 1, 2025, 06:05 AM CloseEmily Kaplan is ESPN’s national NHL reporter.
