Sources: Rangers' Filip Chytil practices, may be playoff option

Filip Chytil is back practicing with the New York Rangers and could be an option for the playoffs, sources told ESPN.

The timeline on Chytil's return has not been determined, and the Rangers will take a wait-and-see approach to see how the 24-year-old center is feeling. However Friday marked a big step as Chytil joined the team for practice at their training facility after being medically cleared.

The Rangers had ruled Chytil out for the season in January, citing a setback to an upper body injury. According to sources, Chytil had been dealing with head injuries.
