He's asked that the reason be kept private, but George Grand eluded to a
death in the family tonight. He is supposed to be back for Saturday's game.

According to Wikipedia, 7 days is the max:

"The bereavement list may be used when a player finds it necessary to
leave the team to attend to a serious illness or death in his (or his
spouse's) immediate family. A player placed on the bereavement list must
miss a minimum of three games and a maximum of seven games. The team can
use another player from its 40-man roster to replace a player on the
bereavement list."
