Philadelphia Eagles star right tackle Lane Johnson returned to practice on Wednesday.
It's a positive sign considering the six-time Pro Bowl selection has missed the Eagles' last seven games with a Lisfranc injury.
The Eagles (11-6) would love nothing more than having Johnson return to the lineup on Sunday against the visiting San Francisco 49ers (12-5) in an NFC wild-card game.
'Obviously, Lane's a big difference maker,' Philadelphia head coach Nick Sirianni said. 'I know he's working like crazy to get himself back. We'll see where that is this week. But he's a difference-maker. He's one of the best who's ever done it.'
Fred Johnson, 28, has played in place of Lane Johnson over the last seven games.
Lane Johnson, 35, last suited up for a game on Nov. 16, however he played only 14 snaps before being ruled out against the Detroit Lions.
It has been a painful year for the two-time Super Bowl champion and two-time first-team All-Pro, who is in his 13th season with Philadelphia. He previously dealt with neck, shoulder and ankle injuries but has started all 10 games for the Eagles.
Lane Johnson has started 168 regular-season games and 15 playoff contests since Philadelphia drafted him with the No. 4 overall pick in 2013.
