| November 5, 2007 Todd Bertuzzi has made it through three straight days without concussion symptoms. "You've got to be symptom-free for a number of days before [the NHL] even allows you to begin activity," GM Brian Burke said, according to the LA Times. "But [Bertuzzi] came to camp with such a good aerobic base and he was in such great shape that we're not concerned he'll take a long time coming back once he's cleared to go." It's good news that he's finally showing improvement, but he'll have to get through some workouts and practices before returning to game aciton. |
| October 27, 2007 Todd Bertuzzi has not been allowed to resume workouts due to his lingering concussion, according to the LA Times. At this point, he's simply out indefinitely. |
| October 21, 2007 Todd Bertuzzi hasn't had any concussion symptoms for the past three days. "We need four or five days where it's symptom-free, which is the normal procedure," coach Randy Carlyle told the LA Times. "It's a very good sign." With any luck, he'll begin working out within a few days, but he probably won't be ready for game action until at least the middle of next week. |

Coach Randy Carlyle said that Bertuzzi is "highly doubtful" for Monday's skate against the Red Wings. Staying on the ice has become the bane of Bertuzzi's career in recent years. We'll have to wait for details on the severity of the concussion before a timetable for his return can be set. |

"I feel good," Bertuzzi said. "I haven't spoken to Babs. I'm pretty sure I'll find out at the morning skate. I have no (concussion) symptoms. It was a good skate (Monday). I feel a lot better. I'm happy with where I'm at (physically)." |

| April 12, 2007 Todd Bertuzzi probably will not be ready for tonight's game, according to the Detroit News. "I don't think he has any chance of playing," coach Mike Babcock said.
