Oilers' Jake Walman: Placed on injured reserve
Walman (undisclosed) was placed on injured reserve Thursday, retroactive to Wednesday, Jason Gregor of Sports 1440 Edmonton reports.
Walman was unavailable for Wednesday's Opening Night matchup against the Flames due to a recent setback in his recovery from an unspecified injury, and he's facing a multi-game absence to begin the regular season. It's not yet clear when he'll be able to return to action, but he's expected to take on a top-four role and see some time on the power play once he's healthy.

Oilers' Jake Walman: Unlikely to play in season opener
Walman (undisclosed) is not expected to be available for Wednesday's regular-season opener against the Flames, Daniel Nugent-Bowman of The Athletic reports.
Walman recently suffered a setback while recovering from an undisclosed injury, but his timeline is a bit unclear at this point. The 29-year-old inked a seven-year, $49 million contract Monday, so he'll be a major player on the blue line once he's back in the fold. Alec Regula is poised to play on the second pairing alongside Darnell Nurse on Wednesday as a result of Walman's expected absence.

Oilers' Jake Walman: Inks seven-year extension
Walman (undisclosed) signed a seven-year, $49 million contract extension with Edmonton on Monday.
Walman generated seven goals, 40 points, 164 shots on net, 145 blocked shots and 57 hits across 65 regular-season appearances between Edmonton and San Jose in 2024-25. He is questionable for Wednesday's Opening Night matchup against Calgary due to an injury. However, once he's healthy, he could slot into a top-four role and see time on the Oilers' second power-play unit.

Oilers' Jake Walman: Suffers injury setback
Walman (undisclosed) suffered a setback in his recovery that has put his status for the season opener in doubt, Tony Brar of Oilers TV reports Sunday.
Edmonton did not completely rule out Walman for the team's Wednesday night opener against Calgary, but the original timeline that had him back on time is in jeopardy. The 29-year-old will likely be trusted to play a top-four role for the team when healthy, so any time that he misses would be a big blow to the cap-strapped Oilers. During last season, Walman had eight points in the 15 regular-season games with the Oilers after coming over from San Jose in a trade.

Oilers' Jake Walman: Should be ready for regular season
Head coach Kris Knoblauch stated Tuesday that Walman (undisclosed) is unlikely to play during the remainder of the preseason, but the defenseman is expected to be ready for the start of the regular season, according to Tom Gazzola of Edmonton Sports Talk.
The Oilers are likely using the utmost caution with Walman, as there's no reason to potentially subject him to a setback in exhibition play. Provided that he's ready for the season opener against the Flames on Oct. 8, Walman will fill a top-four role while receiving work with the No. 2 power-play unit in 2025-26.

Oilers' Jake Walman: Labeled day-to-day
Walman was deemed day-to-day Friday, and his status for Sunday's preseason game versus the Canucks has yet to be determined, Tom Gazzola of Edmonton Sports Talk reports.
It's unclear when Walman sustained the injury, but this appears to be a minor issue that the Oilers would rather not push during the preseason. The 29-year-old is expected to play alongside Darnell Nurse in the regular season when Edmonton's blue line is at full strength.
