Arian Foster practiced again on Wednesday, and was "really looking good", according to Bill O'Brien. But the head coach isn't ready to say the 2010 NFL rushing champ would suit up in Week 3.
"I'm not sure about this week, but I would say sooner rather than later." O'Brien said about a timeline on Foster's return.
The 7th-year pro re-joined practice with the team last week. He was a limited participant for each of the
Wednesday, Thursday and Friday practices.
Foster injured his groin during a training camp practice on August 3.
In 13 games last season, he gained 1,246 yards and averaged 4.8 yards per carry.
Foster and the Texans will practice again on Thursday and Friday at the Houston Methodist Training Center. On Sunday they'll host Tampa Bay at NRG Stadium.
