He was in Dobbies buying plants this afternoon, so I'm assuming he isn't planning to participate

Yep! A story in the Daily Mail mentions Middlesex as a likely destination but gives no details as to why.

it would be just our luck if his injury persisted until after the T20 matches that he has been penciled in to play for us

Stokes ruled out of the upcoming T20 internationals and Wood "rested" by FTECB.

That's according to the BBC but cricinfo report by Dobell says Stokes might play in the T20's.
Warwickshire apparently told FTECB that Woakes " required more bowling before returning to test cricket following his spell in the IPL." Obviously the advice was ignored and he now has a "chronic' knee injury!
