Santana Moss returned to practice on Friday and the team listed him as probable heading into Sunday's game against the Dallas Cowboys.
Moss has been slowed by a nagging heel injury in recent weeks. The injury sidelined him in last week's game against Philadelphia, but with James Thrash out with an ankle injury and Brandon Lloyd now on injured reserve, Moss's services are needed.
"From doing what I did in practice, I should be able to play," Moss said.
Added Gibbs: "Santana looked good. He got treatment during the week. We had everybody in the world look at the MRI of his heel, and everyone is convinced that it's a soft-tissue thing. I think he felt a lot better on Thursday and he took practice [Friday]."
If Moss plays, the Redskins would go into the Dallas game with starters Moss and Antwaan Randle El backed up by Keenan McCardell and Reche Caldwell.
Moss has had produced some of his best games against Dallas. In four games, he has 16 catches for 365 yards and two touchdowns. Both touchdowns came in the memorable 2005 contest when the Redskins came from behind in the final minutes to beat the Cowboys 14-13 at Texas Stadium.
"When you talk about how we've missed big plays, I think Santana is a big play guy for us," Gibbs said. "It would be great to get him back."
Newcomer Jimmy Farris could also be activated and serve on special teams. Farris, a four-year veteran signed on Thursday, would take the role of Thrash on punt and kickoff coverage.
