Eminger on the "IR"

The Caps got to their 23 player roster limit yesterday by demoting Ben Clymer to the Bears (along with Boumedienne and others) and putting Steve Eminger on the IR.

Funny though, Hair Gel seems to be practicing at K-Plex:

Update:Steve Eminger, who is on injured reserve with a sprained ankle, is practicing. Looks okay to me.

Must be some injury.

If I was Eminger, I would be doing everything possible to impress during practice to make up for a decent (if not memorable) training camp, plus the last three seasons. Decent isnt going to cut it anymore when there are a bunch of other guys straining for your spot on the roster.
