Flyers' Coburn out approximately 4 weeks with lower-body injury

Philadelphia Flyers defenseman Braydon Coburn had been "expected" to return to the Flyers lineup for much of the past week, but as it turns out, he's more seriously hurt than previously thought.

Coburn, 29, was a late scratch for Tuesday night's game against the Chicago Blackhawks and hoped to return this weekend. He's apparently suffered a setback of some sort, though, as the club announced he'll miss four weeks with a lower-body injury after he missed practice Friday.
