Wild's Brock Faber: Returns to practice
Wild's Brock Faber: Returns to practice
www.cbssports.comHere’s the latest on Brock Faber.
Recent status: Reports from early 2025 indicated Faber dealing with an upper-body injury that kept him out of multiple Wild games, with returns to action uncertain at the time. An injury update in January 2025 suggested he exited a Blues game early and did not return, signaling a short-term absence. A separate update noted he was out for at least a few games during that period. These pieces collectively point to a mid-season injury layoff rather than a long-term absence.[2][4]
Impact on team: The Wild navigated with injuries to Faber and other defensemen during that stretch, affecting defensive pairings and minutes for several games. Faber has been a regular in the lineup when healthy, contributing in both ends of the ice and averaging substantial ice time in prior seasons.[1][4][2]
Return outlook: At times the reporting framed his return as week-to-week or game-to-game based on his upper-body status, with no firm timeline available in the immediate follow-up period. A later note in April 2026 mentioned a return to practice after rest, suggesting a path back to postseason action, though this is after the 2025 injury window.[3][5]
