The forward had skated in a noncontact jersey at the Capitals&#8217; morning skate Thursday. &#8220;Just another step in his progression to coming back,&#8221; coach Spencer Carbery said Friday. &#8220;Moves into now where he&#8217;s able to get in and around players, take a little bit of contact. So he&#8217;ll just continue to progress.&#8221; Carbery would not put a timeline on when Leonard could return to the lineup. The Capitals have a back-to-back, home-and-home set against the Detroit Red Wings, playing in Washington on Saturday (12:30 p.m. ET; FDSNDET, MNMT, NHLN, SNP, SNO, SNE) and in Detroit on Sunday (1 p.m. ET; FDSNDET, MNMT, NHLN, TVAS). &#8220;I&#8217;m going to be non-committal to his timeline,&#8221; Carbery said. &#8220;I haven&#8217;t talked to [head athletic trainer Jason Serbus] today. I&#8217;ll just leave it at that. He&#8217;s still in his progression coming back from injury.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Washington Capitals Ryan Leonard practiced in a regular jersey Friday and is progressing in his recovery from shoulder&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":358838,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[556],"tags":[64,63,575,85],"class_list":{"0":"post-358837","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-nhl","8":"tag-au","9":"tag-australia","10":"tag-nhl","11":"tag-sports"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/358837","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=358837"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/358837\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/358838"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=358837"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=358837"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=358837"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
