Despite being just 20 years old, Colorado Avalanche defenceman Bowen Byram has had some serious injury troubles in his career.

Recently, an article published by The Athletic said that Byram believed he may have to retire this offseason due to lingering concussion issues. Thankfully, he was able to recover and joined the team for training camp. He has been excellent when healthy this regular season with five goals and nine points in 13 games. However, he was forced to miss time earlier this season with a head injury, and according to Avalanche reporter Adrian Dater he is now sidelined again with yet another head-related injury.

This is an extremely unfortunate situation, especially given just how promising of a player Byram is. After being taken fourth overall in the 2019 NHL Entry Draft, he appeared to really be coming into his own this season and has the potential to become a truly elite defenceman if he can stay healthy. Hopefully he is able to fully recover from this and get back on the ice, but this is starting to get concerning.
