Houston Texans running back Arian Foster is recovering from his groin injury faster than originally expected, and may even play on Sunday.

Foster is listed as questionable for the Texans’ Week 4 game against the Atlanta Falcons after taking part in practice this week in a limited role.

"Yeah, the more and more you run on it the better, the more confidence you build on it," Foster said, according to a report from ESPN. "I guess, with this type of injury -- I talked to the doctor that cut me open. He said the best rehab is actually getting out there and playing. He feels confident that the attachment is going to stay there, so that helps."

Foster has missed the first three weeks of the season after tearing his groin in training camp.
