CROSBY

Sidney Crosby has been making good progress towards recovering from a concussion. He’s still practicing with a non contact jersey, but teammates have mentioned he has been more upbeat, and has more jump in his step. With that being said, Crosby is also very upset with the Pittsburgh Penguins medical staff. They cleared him for contact after his first concussion with out realizing Crosby did not only suffer a concussion but had also sustained a serious neck injury. The neck injury wasn’t found until visiting with another medical source, but the report shows that Crosbys neck is now fully healed.
