Avs' Winchester Cleared For Camp
Winchester (concussion) hasn't officially been cleared to participate in training camp practices, but appears to be fully healthy, Drew Spevak of ESPN Denver reports.After signing a two-year deal with the Avalanche last summer, Winchester didn't play a single game in his first season in Colorado after suffering a concussion in the preseason and experiencing multiple setbacks in his recovery.
