Penguins star Crosby diagnosed with concussion

PITTSBURGH -- The Pittsburgh Penguins say superstar Sidney Crosby has been diagnosed with a concussion.

General manager Jim Rutherford made the announcement Monday. According to coach Mike Sullivan, he suffered the injury during practice Friday. There is no timetable for his return.

The Penguins say Crosby sat out a preseason game Saturday against Columbus because he wasn't feeling well and missed practice Monday to undergo concussion testing. They added that Crosby's status will be updated when more information becomes available.
