RB D'Onta Foreman, CLE (1 Viewer)

Doesn’t sound like he’s a Colts type of player, nor a Ballard one.  I guess a dart throw is harmless.
Ballard played football with Foreman’s Uncle in HS from what Roster Watch is saying.

Probably contributed to the dart throw.  It won't mean anything unless he performs.  You can't control the marbles rolling around in one's head.

 
If nothing else, the Colts get information from Foreman on the Texans offense. If Foreman is actually able to play well and stick, then the Colts taking a productive player away from a division rival is an added bonus. 

Foreman is recovering from a torn achilles, not a torn ACL with was reported in an article earlier in the thread. Reports are he came to camp in shape and looked reasonably good in recovering from his injury but his work habits and a lack of passion playing on special teams probably got him cut.

If his work habits don't change, then he will get cut. If getting cut was his wake-up call and he starts putting in the effort than he has a chance to stick and eventually could be a very good player once he is fully recovered from his injury.

D’Onta Foreman is now in with the offense, and they give him the first carry and reception. Trying to get him involved right away.

Foreman wound up with a couple catches and about five or six carries on the day in the later portions of 11-on-11s. There was also a botched handoff between Kelly and him at one point.

 
Colts placed RB D'Onta Foreman on injured reserve with a torn biceps.

The injury comes with a four-month recovery timeline. Foreman will be ineligible for return in Indianapolis since he was placed on injured reserve before final cuts. If he plays in 2019, it will be late in the year after getting cut loose with an injury settlement. The one-time promising third-rounder is starting to look like a threat to wash out of the league.

The Houston Chronicle’s Aaron Wilson reports D’Onta Foreman (biceps, injured reserve) will rehab with the Colts for the 2020 season.

Foreman is working with a four-month rehab timeframe, but he’s ineligible to return and play this season since he was officially placed on injured reserve prior to final cuts. He’ll recover with a return to the team in 2020 in mind. The 23-year-old still faces an uphill battle to make Indy’s final 53 next year given his lengthy injury history.

D'Onta Foreman (biceps) went through waivers unclaimed.

Foreman is facing a four-month rehab, which is especially daunting after missing months and months with a torn Achilles. The running back will have to earn his way onto a 53-man roster next offseason but his injury history makes the likelihood of that happening low.

Time to revive this thread. Haven't heard any news for a while.

What are your thoughts, does he come back for a 2020 try?

I don't see why not as a third string/rotational guy, not sure if he played ST in college but could contribute there as he's always been a speedy guy in a bigger frame that is in good in open space.

This guy never seemed to live up to the perceived potential, because of injury or not having the opportunity or, when he had the opportunity, not capitalizing on it.

I can see him returning to try again. Not sure there is going to be the demand but you never know.

Acquired him a couple weeks before his breakout and injury game. One of my biggest wishful regrets. 
A little cool story bro: but I traded this dude straight up for Cooper Kupp three seasons ago in dynasty.

Titans signed RB D'Onta Foreman.

The team waived RB Mekhi Sargent to make room for both Adrian Peterson (irresponsibly donning No. 8 on the back of his Titans jersey) and Foreman on the practice squad. With Dontrell Hilliard also log-jammed there, Tennessee will likely opt to promote multiple players ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Rams. Peterson is expected to handle a bulk of the team's early-down and goal line touches with Jeremy McNichols sticking in a pass-catching role as a viable flier in PPR leagues.

The 25-year old most recently spent time with Tennessee, appearing in six games and rushing for 95 yards on 22 carries.

Foreman, who rushed for over 2,000 yards and 15 touchdowns during his junior season at Texas in 2016, captured the Doak Walker Award as college football's best running back. But despite this immense success, he didn't hear his name called until midway through the third round of the 2017 NFL Draft when the Texans finally drafted him 89th overall.

After seeing limited snaps early, Foreman started to emerge as a bigger focal point in Houston's offense as his rookie season progressed. Unfortunately, at the tail end of a 34-yard touchdown run in Week 11, he tore his Achilles and landed on season-ending injured reserve. He finished the season with 327 rushing yards and a pair of touchdowns.

 
And frankly, not very impressive. He's pretty fast for a big guy but he doesn't show any moves at all, gets taken down by a lone defender in the open field on almost every run (in this video).


He looked like a WR along the sidelines opting out of contact on multiple occasions.

Watch the play at 2:40….nice moves there 

at 3:19 he makes a nice side step and hits the hole like a rocket

And he’s blown out his Achilles since most of that, if not all.

 
He's going to get a chance for one game since Peterson won't be fully up to speed yet. If he impresses he has a chance to make this a 3-man backfield. If he doesn't stand out in practice/does nothing in the next game, it might be Dontrell Hilliard who is the 3rd back.

It's not out the realm of possibility once Peterson is game ready they'd do a 2-man backfield of Peterson/McNichols. Of course that means actually giving McNichols carries, which the Titans never really did.

 
Titans promoted RB D'Onta Foreman to the active roster.

Foreman joins Adrian Peterson and Jeremy McNichols in a depleted Titans running back room. The Tennessee offense will look a lot different without Derrick Henry, but McNichols – who already had a role as the pass-catching back – and Peterson will do their best at filling The King's enormous shoes, while Foreman is nothing more than a depth piece at the moment. Leave Foreman on the waiver wire in fantasy leagues.

Why would Foreman who was signed the same day be more up to speed than Peterson?
