Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Antonio Brown is hopeful he will be able to face the Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday after returning to practice.
Brown has been sidelined since suffering what was termed as a "significant lower leg contusion" in the defeat against the New England Patriots on December 15.
"It's the playoffs - you've go to do whatever it takes," said Brown, who was able to complete most of Monday's session.
"We'll see how it goes and how the week progresses. I feel I was able to go through practice.
"I can still get a little better, but it was good to be out there. There's still a lot to test. First day of the week.
"As soon as the incident happened, with an MRI, and we're in a police car right to the hospital - I'm pretty grateful. [I] can grow from this experience. No man playing this game has never had adversity. I'm glad I'm able to be on my feet today talking to you guys."
Brown led the NFL in receiving yards (1,533) and caught nine touchdown passes despite missing two games.
