Red Wings Roster News
Red Wings forward Johan Franzen has been out for six weeks with a concussion and doesn't appear close to returning. Franzen hasn't been cleared to even begin off-ice workouts due to headaches and hasn't been at Joe Louis Arena much. Franzen, who has a history of concussions, was injured from a blindside hit by Edmonton's Rob Klinkhammer on Jan. 6th. Franzen finished the game but began experiencing concussion symptoms the next day.
The Red Wings assigned goaltender Petr Mrazek to the Grand Rapids Griffins following Monday's 2-0 loss to the Montreal Canadiens at Joe Louis Arena. Mrazek had dressed as the back-up to Jimmy Howard the past two games. Jonas Gustavsson, a healthy scratch the past two games, will serve as Howard's backup starting with Wednesday's game in Chicago.

Cabrera to be Examined
Detroit Tigers first baseman Miguel Cabrera is scheduled to have a follow-up exam today to check his right foot. Cabrera had a stress fracture repaired in his foot and a bone spur taken out of his ankle during a procedure in October, and has been wearing a protective boot to allow him to heal. If the fracture has healed sufficiently, he should be cleared to participate in some drills when the full squad reports for Spring Training next week. Tigers officials have said they believe Cabrera will be ready to play around Opening Day.
Tigers Spring Training
