After suffering a serious leg injury in April, there was a lot of talk about Connor McDavid's recovery possibly taking him into mid-to-late September and likely missing the opening of Oilers' training camp.
There was concern for McDavid's status heading into September after he looked quite tentative on the ice at BioSteel camp last month. NHL Insider for NHL.com, Mike Zeisberger, had reported late in August that there was no definitive timetable for McDavid's return. He did, however, confirm that McDavid's recovery was on track and that was aiming to return for camp.

Well, according to a tweet Friday morning from TSN's Ryan Rishaug, McDavid is in fact slotted in to skate with Group A at Oilers camp today, ending all speculation that he is not 100%.

Now we can lay that concern to rest and focus on what should be another monster season for the Oilers Captain.
