New York Rangers top defenseman Adam Fox is nearing a return to the lineup, after he was placed on Injured Reserve following a brutal upper-body injury.
According to recent reports from USA Today's Vince Mercogliano, he reveled a very positive update on defenseman Adam Fox of the New York Rangers as he was seen skating on his own.
Along with that, Head Coach Peter Laviolette wasn't able to get more into the timeline discussion following the team's practice. But the news of him skating should be taken as a positive sign for Rangers fans everywhere.
However, he remains on injured reserve with an upper-body injury after taking a terrible tumble while playing against the New York Islanders.
Fox was placed on injured reserve Wednesday after falling hard on his left shoulder in the third period of a 5-1 win against the New York Islanders at UBS Arena on Wednesday. It's not expected to be season-ending.
This season he's played 58 games for the New York Rangers and scored 48 points ( 5 G, 43 A).

Now this doesn't mean Fox is ready to return to the lineup for tonight's game, as we will have to see if he practices with the team today, but definitely a positive sign that things are heading in the right direction as the Rangers are on a three game road-trip.
