Ritchie (lower body) is getting close to returning to practice, Mike Heika of Dallas Morning News reports.
Analysis:
Ritchie has been sidelined for the last few weeks with a lower body injury. He's started skating on his own recently, but has yet to be fully cleared to return to practice. With that being said, he's clearly moving in the right direction, although until he's cleared for practice, he shouldn't be considered close to returning to game action.
