Tracy Morgan Emmys

Following the touching return of Tracy Morgan at the Emmys on Sunday night, there's news that the funnyman is one step closer to returning to the big screen.

According to The Wrap, Morgan is in negotiations to join Ice Cube and Charlie Day ("It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia") in the comedy "Fist Fight."

This would be the first movie Morgan would be involved in since he was seriously injured in 2014 when a Walmart truck hit the limo Morgan and others were riding in on the New Jersey Turnpike.

The comedy follows a teacher (Day) who is challenged to a fistfight by a tougher colleague (Cube). Morgan's role has not been disclosed, according to The Wrap, but the news suggests that the comic is on the road to recovery.

At Sunday's Emmys, Morgan took the stage toward the end of the evening and thanked everyone for their well-wishes. He told the audience that he had suffered a traumatic brain injury as a result of the crash, which put him in a coma for eight days.

Morgan will host "Saturday Night Live" on October 17.
