Like keeping it a secret? Of course OHare will know how long he's out for.
Not quite what I meant. But as several people have alluded to, these injuries can be very difficult to assess. I think if they were confident it would be a couple of weeks, they would probably say (why wouldn't they?). I am not suggesting that they are trying to cool interest from other teams, or anything like that. I just meant that when there is a possibility it may be a while, they may not be focusing on worst case scenarios. I am sure someone more informed may be able to weigh in here, but there is a psychological component to consider when managing injury. Not least because they are dealing with people who are also high value assets. Robins seemed very reticent to be drawn on specific timelines, which sounded a little unusual. Not a conspiracy theory, just suggesting a reason they might be careful about what and how they talk about it.
