Report: Rangers' Staal recovering from concussion, status unclear

New York Rangers defenseman Marc Staal is in a familiar, unfavorable position.

Staal, who missed the club's past two games with an unspecified upper-body injury, is reportedly dealing with post-concussion symptoms, according to Larry Brooks of the New York Post.

The 29-year-old has missed time with two separate concussions over the course of his career, and his timeline for a return is unclear at this point, reports Brooks.

Staal has suited up in 40 games for the Blueshirts this season, notching three goals and three assists, while averaging 19:33 in ice time.
