Philadelphia Flyers defenseman Ryan Ellis is considered week-to-week with a lower-body injury.

Flyers coach Alain Vigneault said the injury is related to the lower-body ailment Ellis sustained during training camp.

“It’s taking a little bit longer to heal than he expected,” Vigneault said Tuesday. “When Ryan’s ready to play, he’ll let us know because obviously he wants to play and help his teammates.”

Ellis was acquired by the Flyers from the Nashville Predators on July 17 in exchange for fellow defenseman Philippe Myers and forward Nolan Patrick.

Patrick then was flipped in a separate deal to the Vegas Golden Knights for forward Cody Glass.

Ellis, 30, recorded four points (one goal, three assists) in three games this season.

Ellis has posted 274 points (76 goals, 198 assists) in 565 career games since being selected by the Predators with the 11th overall pick of the 2009 NHL Draft.
