Coach Dave Cameron said Friday that Methot aggravated his back injury and is without a timetable for a return, Ian Mendes of TSN 1200 reports.

Analysis:

This wasn't unexpected news after the Senators returned Methot to injured reserve Monday, just over a week after he made his season debut. Methot missed over two months with the back injury the first time around, so it wouldn't be a major surprise if an absence of a similar length of time is in store for the blueliner again.
