Crosby Status Still Unknown
Will He Be Ready For Camp?
Yesterday, Ray Shero spoke with media about Crosby’s progress over the summer. It’s still not 100% certain that he will be ready to go by training camp but Shero said that he is progressing and will be re-evaluated at the beginning of camp.
Crosby has maintained his summer workout schedule, including on and off-ice workouts, with little concussion side effects — though there were some that is to be expected with this type of injury. Chances do look good that Sid will be ready to go come September.
Shero knows that long-term health is better than having Crosby back sooner than he should; “I want to make sure a year from now, three years from now, five years from now that he’s still the best player in the league and take the appropriate steps and back him, and go from there.”
If missing out on another portion of the upcoming season means the Pens will have Sidney in the lineup for years to come it may not be the end of the world.
