Connor McDavid cleared to practice as he rehabs knee at Oilers training camp

EDMONTON — It’s so far, so good for Connor McDavid in training camp as he rehabs his knee.

The Edmonton Oilers’ superstar forward was cleared for practice and didn’t require a non-contact jersey as the team hit the ice today for the first time in camp.

McDavid, the second-leading scorer in the NHL last year, partially tore a left knee ligament five months ago in the last game of the 2018-19 regular season when he rammed into a goalpost at high speed.

He didn’t require surgery, but has been working to heal the knee all summer.
