Slater Koekkoek suffered a shoulder injury last game and will be re-evaluated on Monday. Initial reports state he separated his shoulder, which would mean he would miss 4-6 weeks. Koekkoek missed the majority of last season after undergoing shoulder surgery. He bruised a shoulder in the pre-season this year, but only missed exhibition games.
