Apparently the recovery effort for Lions running back Ameer Abdullah is going better than expected.

According to NFL Networkโ€™s Ian Rapoport, Abdullah will see Dr. Robert Anderson this coming Tuesday to see if he can begin practicing. If this is the case itโ€™s โ€œrealisticโ€ to believe the Lions running back could return to the team in three weeks.

This news is pretty much a total 180 from what was being reported a few weeks ago when it was believed Abdullahโ€™s season would be over with that foot injury.
