Calvert (concussion) is hoping to return to practice next week, Shawn Mitchell of the Columbus Dispatch reports.

Analysis:

Calvert was ruled out indefinitely after suffering the concussion in late February, but seemed on track for a quick return before enduring a setback in mid March. It appears he's turned a corner since that time, but the volatile nature of head injuries makes him far from a safe bet to suit up in the near future. He'll likely attempt to skate on his own over the next few days with the hope that doctors will clear him to start practicing with the team.
