Brian McCann seems resigned to the fact that he will miss the first few weeks of the regular season.

"It's not going to do me any good to come back if I'm not 100 percent," said McCann, who underwent right shoulder surgery on Oct. 16.

Anchors were inserted into the posterior portion of McCann's shoulder and a labrum tear that was more significant than expected was repaired. The prognosis was that he might not be ready to return for six months.
