D'Onta Foreman - NFL News, Rumors, & Updates

Held to 27 yards on ground Foreman rushed the ball 10 times for 27 yards in Saturday's 35-10 loss to the Ravens. He added one reception on one target for eight yards.

Impact Foreman led the Cleveland backfield with both Jerome Ford (ankle) and Pierre Strong (concussion) sidelined. He wasn't able to rack up much yardage against a stout Baltimore defense, as four of his 10 attempts went for zero or one yards. Foreman is set to hit free agency this offseason, and he will likely be in line to compete for a backup job during training camp in 2025.

Lead role could await in Week 18 Foreman is likely to serve as the Browns' lead back in Saturday's game against the Ravens with Cleveland ruling out Jerome Ford (ankle) and Pierre Strong (concussion) for the conte...

Impact The Browns also have John Kelly on the 53-man roster and could look to elevate one of Aidan Robbins or Jacob Kibodi from the practice squad in Week 18, but Foreman is Cleveland's most experienced running back by far and thus projects to see most of the work, at least on early downs. After Ford left early in this past Sunday's 20-3 loss to the Dolphins due to the ankle injury, Foreman finished as the Browns' rushing leader with 49 yards on 13 carries. He was also targeted twice across his 37 snaps but failed to record a reception.

Larger role in Week 17 Foreman rushed 13 times for 49 yards and did not bring in either of his targets in Sunday's 20-3 loss to the Dolphins.

Impact Foreman saw his highest carry total since Week 2 against Jacksonville, resulting in his highest rushing total of the campaign. Jerome Ford was afforded the start Sunday, but Foreman saw more work in the second half as the game began to fall out of reach. Foreman could be a sneaky DFS play in the event his superior performance results in a starting bid for the Browns against the Ravens next Sunday.

Costly fumble in loss Foreman had two carries for one yard and lost a fumble in Sunday's 24-6 loss to the Bengals in Week 16.

Impact Foreman was active for the first time since Week 8, and his activity ended quickly. After lead back Jerome Ford's 66-yard run set up the Browns inside the red zone, Foreman entered the game. He had a two carries inside the five-yard line and lost a fumble on the second one. His presence in the game ended there after two snaps, and Pierre Strong was used as the primary backup from then on. Foreman has a one-year deal and is unlikely to be part of the Browns' roster reconstruction in 2025.

Could be active Week 16 Foreman, who was a healthy inactive for Week 15, could join the active roster next week as Nick Chubb sustained a season-ending broken foot in Sunday's 21-7 loss to the Chiefs.

Impact Foreman has been a missing person for nine straight weeks since both Chubb and Jerome Ford were both healthy. Ford is expected to carry the backfield load for the Browns with Chubb out, but Foreman could be in the mix.

DECEMBER 16, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Healthy scratch Week 15 Foreman (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's clash against Kansas City.

Impact Foreman hasn't played since Week 8, as all of Nick Chubb, Jerome Ford and Pierre Strong are healthy and ahead of him on the running back depth chart. The veteran tailback's next chance to suit up will come next Sunday, Dec. 22 against Cincinnati.

DECEMBER 15, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Won't play in Week 13 Foreman (coach's decision) is inactive for Monday night's matchup against the Broncos.

Impact Foreman has now been a healthy scratch in each of the Browns' last four games, with his most recent appearance coming in a Week 8 win over the Ravens. Without Foreman on Monday night, Cleveland's running back room will consist of Nick Chubb, Jerome Ford and Pierre Strong.

DECEMBER 2, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Healthy scratch for Week 12 Foreman (coach's decision) is inactive for Thursday night's game against the Steelers.

Impact Foreman will be a healthy inactive for a third straight game as the Browns roll with a three-man backfield of Nick Chubb, Jerome Ford and Pierre Strong. Foreman's next opportunity to play will be Week 13 against the Broncos on Monday, Dec. 2.

NOVEMBER 21, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Sidelined for Week 11 Foreman (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Saints.

Impact Foreman will be a healthy scratch for a second straight game. Nick Chubb will lead the Browns' backfield Sunday while Jerome Ford and Pierre Strong serve as the backups.

NOVEMBER 17, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Inactive for Week 9 Foreman (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Chargers.

NOVEMBER 3, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Five touches in win Foreman had five carries for 26 yards in Sunday's 29-24 win over the Ravens in Week 8.

Impact Foreman, the only running back other than Nick Chubb to get a carry, played 13 snaps compared to Pierre Strong's 14. This was Chubb's second game back, and his workload increased. Cleveland's top back barely played in the second half last week (one carry), but he had six carries following halftime Sunday, as his snap count increased from 30 to 42. The stronger he gets post-injury, along with the return of Jerome Ford (hamstring), the further marginalized will be Foreman's role.

Five touches in win Foreman had five carries for 26 yards in Sunday's 29-24 win over the Ravens.

Impact Foreman, the only running back other than Nick Chubb to get a carry, played 13 snaps compared to Pierre Strong's 14. This was Chubb's second game back, and as expected his workload increased. Cleveland's top back barely played in the second half last week (one carry), but he had six carries following halftime Sunday, as his snap count rose from 30 to 42. The stronger Chubb gets post-injury, the further marginalized Foreman's role will become, and Jerome Ford (hamstring) will return soon as well.

Fewest backfield snaps in loss Foreman had two carries for five yards in Sunday's 21-14 loss to the Bengals. He also returned to two kickoffs for 31 yards.

Impact On the day that Nick Chubb finally returned to action, Foreman brought up the rear of the backfield with just 11 snaps, compared to Chubb's 30 and Pierre Strong's 42. Jerome Ford (hamstring) was inactive. Foreman's touches have fluctuated from week to week, and he's yet to score a touchdown. When Ford's ready to play again and the pending return of Nyheim Hines (knee), who doubles as a return specialist, could further erode Foreman's viability in Cleveland.

Impact On the day that Nick Chubb finally returned to action, Foreman brought up the rear of the backfield with just 11 snaps, compared to Chubb's 30 and Pierre Strong's 42. Jerome Ford (hamstring) was inactive. Foreman's touches have fluctuated from week to week, and he's yet to score a touchdown. Ford's return, and the pending season debut of Nyheim Hines (knee) -- who can also handle kick return duties -- could cost Foreman his roster spot in Cleveland.

OCTOBER 21, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Part of Week 7 backfield mix Foreman (groin) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Bengals, Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN reports.

Impact Foreman will suit up after practicing without limitations Friday. He was listed as limited both Wednesday and Thursday. The Browns will be without Jerome Ford (hamstring) but expect to welcome back Nick Chubb (knee, questionable) in the backfield, which could result in minimal changes to Foreman's workload. Foreman has three games with 0-5 touches and three with 10-15 touches this season, but he's averaging just 3.2 YPC and has yet to score a touchdown.

OCTOBER 18, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Remains limited in practice Foreman (groin) was a limited practice participant Thursday.

Impact There are a bunch of moving parts in the Cleveland backfield, with Jerome Ford (hamstring) missing a second straight practice Thursday while Nick Chubb (knee) was a full participant again. Foreman lands in the middle, having logged limited practices Wednesday and Thursday, but he may not have much of a role with Chubb on track to return for Sunday's matchup with the Bengals.

OCTOBER 17, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Logs limited practice Foreman (groin) was limited at Wednesday's practice.

Impact In this past weekend's 20-16 loss to the Eagles, Foreman logged 20 snaps en route to recording 31 yards on 10 carries and 16 yards on two catches. While fellow RB Jerome Ford -- who was limited to four snaps in Week 6 after sustaining a hamstring injury -- didn't practice Wednesday, the Browns' backfield for Sunday's contest against the Bengals is expected to be bolstered by the anticipated return of Nick Chubb (knee). In that context, Foreman, assuming his availability, would likely work in a time-share (that would also include Pierre Strong) this weekend, regardless of Ford's status.

OCTOBER 17, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Backfield touch leader in loss Foreman rushed 10 times for 31 yards and caught both of his targets for 16 yards in Sunday's 20-16 loss to Philadelphia in Week 6.

Impact Starter Jerome Ford left the game after just four snaps with a hamstring injury, leaving the bulk of the backfield duties to Foreman and Pierre Strong (10 touches). Foreman's 12 touches (20 snaps) led the backfield while Strong (30 snaps) was on the field more often. Ford's status for Week 7's tilt against the Bengals may not matter much to Foreman or Strong, as the Browns anticipate Nick Chubb (knee) being ready.

OCTOBER 14, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Cleared for Week 6 Foreman (ankle) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Eagles, Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Foreman avoided an injury designation with full participation in Friday's practice. Pierre Strong (hamstring) will also be available in a change-of-pace role behind Jerome Ford, while Nick Chubb (knee) has been ruled out and won't make his season debut. Foreman has 29 carries for 93 rushing yards over the last four games.

OCTOBER 11, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Returns to practice Thursday Foreman (ankle) was limited at practice Thursday, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

Impact After missing Wednesday's session, Foreman's return to a limited practice one day later has him trending in a positive direction ahead of Sunday's game against the Eagles. However, the running back will likely need to practice fully Friday in order to avoid a Week 6 injury designation.

OCTOBER 10, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Dealing with ankle issue Foreman (ankle) isn't in line to practice Wednesday, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

Impact In the Browns' Week 5 loss to the Commanders, Foreman was on the field for 21 of a possible 62 snaps en route to carrying nine times for 44 yards and catching his only target for 16 yards, while working in tandem with Jerome Ford's (36 snaps, nine carries, three catches). With a Wednesday absence looming, Foreman's status for Sunday's game against the Eagles is now worth monitoring.

Dealing with ankle issue Foreman won't practice Wednesday due to an ankle injury, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

Impact In the Browns' Week 5 loss to the Commanders, Foreman was on the field for 21 of the team's 62 snaps on offense, finishing the day with nine carries for 44 yards and one reception for 16 yards. With a Wednesday absence looming, Foreman's status for Sunday's game against the Eagles is now worth monitoring. He had been working as the No. 2 option out of the backfield behind Jerome Ford, but even if Foreman overcomes the injury ahead of Sunday's contest, he could slide down to third on the depth chart if the Browns activate Nick Chubb (knee) from the PUP list this week.
