PITTSBURGH (AP) - The Pittsburgh Penguins have no plans on
rushing star Sidney Crosby back to the ice.
     General manager Ray Shero said Monday it's too early to tell if
Crosby will be ready when training camp begins next month. The
former MVP hasn't played since being diagnosed with a concussion in
January. He missed Pittsburgh's final 48 games, including a loss to
Tampa Bay in the playoffs.
     Crosby has spent the summer working out in Canada and Shero said
the 24-year-old is "progressing well." Shero acknowledged Crosby
continues to deal with symptoms related to the concussion, but
added the issues have not forced him to stop training.
     Shero expects Crosby to return to Pittsburgh a week before camp
opens and said Crosby won't play until he is "100 percent."
