OTTAWA — Sidney Crosby has an injury to the C1 and C2 vertebrae, according to Sportsnet’s Bob McCown and Elliotte Friedman of CBC.

Friedman, quoting Crosby’s agent, Pat Brisson: “Sid did suffer a concussion, but last week, the possibility of two fractured vertebrae (C1 and C2) was discovered. A third doctor is being consulted to determine the exact diagnosis.”

McCown said doctors expect Crosby to “heal and be ready for the playoffs,” and that the injury was “apparently missed by Pittsburgh doctors.” Also from McCown: “Crosby went to the Utah doctor on the recommendation of New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady, who is Crosby’s friend.”

Here’s the McCown report:
