Nashville Predators captain Roman Josi discusses concussion recovery, status for next season
One of the biggest questions for the Nashville Predators this summer is the health of captain Roman Josi. Josi, who missed the final 25 games of the season, suffered what was called an upper-body injury after he was hit by Florida Panthers forward Sam Bennett on Feb. 25. Advertisement At the Predators' end-of-season media availability, Josi confirmed it was concussion-related, and said he should be ready to play in 2025-26. "I'm progressing really well and now I've got a lot of time off now," he said. "I'll definitely be playing when the season starts." Josi said he has experience with this injury and knows what he needs to get back on track. "It's something I've dealt with before," he said. "Some stuff I'm still dealing with. But it's been good. I've had a couple months now to recover. I'm feeling better and better." Advertisement Unfortunately, concussions are becoming common for Josi. He missed the final 15 games of the 2022-23 season with a concussion, and has missed other games in his career after taking hits to the head. It was previously reported that Josi had as many as five concussions prior to 2023. BRUNETTE BACK? What Andrew Brunette said about his future as Nashville Predators coach "I'm not concerned about that, to be honest," Josi said of his concussion history. "I've dealt with it before. I got some really good answers, really positive. Some stuff that I can work on. I'm not concerned about it. I have been getting better." After getting hit by Bennett, Josi said the team's performance and position in the Western Conference standings did not play a part in not returning to the team this season. Advertisement "It was a question of taking care of my health. With those things, you want to be careful," he said. "If I was healthy, I would have played. It was never what I wanted, to sit out the rest of the season. If I felt like I was healthy to play, I would have played." Alex Daugherty is the Predators beat writer for The Tennessean.

Nashville Predators place captain Roman Josi on injured reserve with upper body injury
The Nashville Predators have placed captain Roman Josi on injured reserve with an upper-body injury. The team made the announcement ahead of Saturday's matchup against the New York Islanders at UBS Arena, along with recalling forward Jake Lucchini and defenseman Spencer Stastney. Additionally, the Predators are holding forward Gustav Nyquist out of the lineup for the purposes of a trade. Josi was injured by a Sam Bennett hit in the second period of Tuesday's 4-1 loss to the Florida Panthers. On the play, Bennett hit Josi from behind near the boards, causing Josi's head to impact the glass. Though Josi finished playing the period, he did not return for the third period and missed Thursday's 2-1 win over the Jets. The Predators announced on Thursday that Josi was being evaluated for an upper body injury. Players on injured reserve are ineligible to play in a game for seven days, according to the NHL's hockey operations guidelines. The earliest Josi could return would be March 6 against the Seattle Kraken. Josi, 34, has played in 52 games for the Predators this season, scoring nine goals and 29 assists. He played in all 82 games last season, but missed the final 15 games of the 2022-23 season with a concussion. Josi is in the fifth year of an eight-year contract he signed in 2019. BRUNETTE ON HIT: Nashville Predators' Andrew Brunette addresses hit by Panthers player that injured Roman Josi The Predators now have seven healthy defenseman on the roster: Brady Skjei, Luke Schenn, Andreas Englund, Justin Barron, Nick Blankenburg, Marc Del Gaizo, and Spencer Stastney.
