Injury Update: Kris sick with virus and symptoms
I will only post news about Letang’s condition from the Pens’ website, anything else is either reiterating the same information or speculating his condition. Everyone is going to have something to say and voice their opinion on the severity Letang’s injury. That is for sport blogs and the fan forums to discuss, I will not post those links here.
This fan site supports Kris Letang and the Penguins with a high standard towards information posted on here. I will work my hardest providing the latest updates on Kris’ injury status as they are officially released and confirmed from the Penguins.
From today’s Pens’ Report and @PensInsideScoop
Kris Letang suffered the hit to the head (in Montreal), a facial injury. He has felt fine for a couple days and skated with us after being evaluated a couple different ways on Monday. He skated with us, felt fine. Started to get some symptoms in New York. He also has a virus and some sickness. So there’s some other things going on there with Kris that he’s not even to the point where he can take a baseline test right now because he’s ill. He is suffering from a virus as well. So they are both in 24-48 hour (timelines), to kind of see where they both go from here.
On Letang’s illness presenting symptoms that could be comparable to a concussion:
Yes. In addition to the injury to the head, the shot to the head that produced a broken nose, flying (on the plane to New York produced) some of that swelling. So kind of we’re waiting to see over a precautionary 24-48 hours to see how they’re doing and go from there. But both are not going to be there (Thursday).
