Ejected in finale
Foreman rushed 12 times for 68 yards prior to being ejected early in the third quarter of Sunday's 10-7 win over the Saints.
Analysis: Foreman and Saints defensive end Marcus Davenport were both disqualified after exchanging punches following a play with nearly 12 minutes remaining in the third quarter. Thanks to a long run of 21 yards, it had been a productive day for Foreman, who elevated his performance this season after Carolina traded fellow tailback Christian McCaffrey in October. In 17 games, including eight starts, Foreman rushed 203 times for 914 yards (4.5 per carry) and five touchdowns. Although he hardly…read more

Available in Week 18
Foreman (knee) is listed as active Sunday at New Orleans, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site reports.
Analysis: Foreman didn't make an appearance on Carolina's injury report until Friday due to a knee issue, which resulted in a cap on his reps and a listing of questionable for Week 18 action. In the end, though, the health concern won't keep him from suiting up Sunday. If he's able to handle his normal workload, Foreman should be in line for the 18.4 touches per game that he's averaged over the 10 contests since Christian McCaffrey was dealt to the 49ers after Week 6.
Added to injury report
Foreman was added to the practice report Friday as a limited participant with a knee injury and is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against New Orleans.
Analysis: An end-of-week addition to the injury report puts Foreman's availability into question for the season finale. If he's deemed inactive ahead of the 1 p.m. ET kickoff, Carolina will rely on Chuba Hubbard and Raheem Blackshear out of the backfield. Interim head coach Steve Wilks said Friday that he expects Foreman to be a game-time decision, according to Joe Person of The Athletic.
Stymied on ground Sunday
Foreman rushed 13 times for 35 yards and wasn't targeted in the passing game in the Panthers' 30-24 loss to the Buccaneers on Sunday.
Analysis: On the heels of a career-best 165-yard rushing effort against the Lions in Week 16, Foreman plummeted back down to earth against a Buccaneers run defense that put together one of its better performances of the season. Foreman's lackluster production was naturally very ill-timed from a fantasy perspective, but he'll have a chance to atone for those holding him in leagues still active in Week 18 when the Panthers close out the season on the road against the Saints.
Massive numbers in win
Foreman rushed 21 times for 165 yards and a touchdown in the Panthers' 37-23 win over the Lions on Saturday.
Analysis: Foreman and backfield mate Chuba Hubbard consistently gashed a Lions run defense that had been one of the best in the league in recent weeks. Foreman's yardage tally was a career-high figure, and it marked his fifth time eclipsing the 100-yard mark for the season. The bruising back has proven himself an excellent big-bodied complement to the fleeter Hubbard, and he'll aim to play a critical role once more in a Week 17 divisional road showdown against the Buccaneers that could decide the NFC…read more
Struggles in defeat
Foreman rushed 10 times for nine yards in Sunday's 24-16 loss to the Steelers.
Analysis: Foreman and the Panthers' running game were bottled up completely, as the team managed just 21 yards on its 16 total attempts. Although Foreman also fumbled once, teammate Stephen Sullivan fortunately recovered his miscue. Without any involvement in the passing game, it was a total dud performance from Foreman in Sunday's defeat.

Tops 20 carries
Foreman rushed 21 times for 74 yards in Sunday's 30-24 win over the Seahawks. He also caught his only target for one yard.
Analysis: Foreman led the Panthers in carries despite being listed with a foot injury earlier in the week. While he matched Chuba Hubbard for the team's lead in rushing yardage, both Hubbard and third-string tailback Raheem Blackshear managed to find the end zone while Foreman didn't. While they also made larger contributions in the passing game, Foreman's status as Carolina's bell cow over the second half of the season gives his value a solid floor ahead of Week 15's matchup versus Pittsburgh.
Cleared for Week 14
Foreman (foot) was a full practice participant Friday and doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game in Seattle.
Analysis: Coming out of the Panthers' Week 13 bye, Foreman didn't practice Wednesday due to the foot issue, but he returned to the field Thursday as a limited participant before closing the week with an uncapped session. Foreman thus looks poised to return to his usual duties as the Panthers' lead option on the ground, with Chuba Hubbard on hand behind him for complementary work out of the backfield. Foreman draws a favorable Week 14 matchup against a Seattle defense that ranks 31st in the NFL with 155.3…read more

Returns to limited practice
Foreman (foot) was limited at practice Thursday, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site reports.
Analysis: In the wake of Carolina's Week 13 bye, Foreman was held out of drills Wednesday as he tends to a rib injury. He took a step in the right direction with his upgrade in participation Thursday, and Friday's practice report will reveal whether or not he exits the week with a designation for Sunday's game at Seattle. If Foreman ends up limited or out this weekend, Chuba Hubbard would be the biggest beneficiary out of the Panthers backfield.

Back at practice
Foreman (foot) was in attendance for Thursday's practice and was sporting full pads during the portion of the session that was open to the media, Joe Person of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: After being listed as a non-participant in the Panthers' first official session Wednesday following the team's Week 13 bye, Foreman looks poised to go down as a limited or full participant when Carolina releases its second Week 14 injury report later Thursday. For his part, Foreman told Person on Wednesday that he's 95 percent certain he'll be able to play Sunday against the Seahawks. With that in mind, fantasy managers shouldn't worry too much about Foreman's availability this weekend, even if…read more

Practice absence confirmed
Foreman (foot/ribs) didn't practice Wednesday, David Newton of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Foreman said he's dealing with injuries to his foot and ribs coming out of Carolina's Week 13 bye, but he tentatively expects to play in Sunday's game at Seattle. It's worth noting that he was rested on some Wednesdays previously after handling large workloads, so there shouldn't be much concern about his availability against the Seahawks so long as he returns to practice Thursday.
Published: Wed, Dec 7 at 11:38am by Rotowire.com
Not spotted at Wednesday's practice
Foreman isn't present for the open portion of Wednesday's practice due to foot and rib injuries, Joe Person of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: The foot injury is one that Foreman sustained during the Panthers' Week 12 win over the Broncos and is something he's apparently still nursing coming out of Carolina's bye week. Person adds that Foreman noted Monday that he's also dealing with a rib injury, but he expects neither that issue nor the foot concern to prevent him from taking the field Sunday in Seattle. Over his last six appearances, Foreman has logged four 100-yard rushing performances, though in both of the other two contests he…read more
Bounces back against Denver
Foreman rushed the ball 24 times for 113 yards in Sunday's 23-10 win over the Broncos.
Analysis: Foreman split work with Chuba Hubbard fairly evenly -- particularly early in the game -- as the duo combined for 41 rushing attempts in a run-heavy attack for Carolina. Foreman was also efficient, ripping off three double-digit gains to top 100 rushing yards for the fourth time this season and for as many times in the team's last six games. The Panthers are heading into a Week 13 bye, but Foreman will likely continue to shoulder a heavy workload for the rest of the season.
Published: Sun, Nov 27 at 4:45pm by Rotowire.com
Shut down in Week 11 loss
Foreman rushed 11 times for 24 yards and failed to bring in his only target in the Panthers' 13-3 loss to the Ravens on Sunday.
Analysis: Foreman's chances of another breakout effort were slim coming in considering the Ravens' elite run defense, and an unproductive afternoon did indeed come to pass for the veteran back. Despite the quiet performance, Foreman still served in the clear lead role over backfield mate Chuba Hubbard, but both players will have another difficult matchup against a tough Broncos defense in a Week 12 home matchup.
Another 100-yard effort in win
Foreman rushed 31 times for 130 yards and a touchdown and failed to bring in his only target during the Panthers' 25-15 win over the Falcons on Thursday night.
Analysis: Foreman remained in a workhorse role despite the return of Chuba Hubbard from his ankle injury. The veteran's carry and yardage tallies were career highs, and he made his fourth visit to the end zone with a 12-yard rush late in the third quarter. Given his ample success with expanded opportunities this season -- Foreman has 100-yard efforts in all three games during which he's logged double-digit carries -- he should remain the unquestioned leader of the backfield during a Week 11 home matchup…read more
Published: Thu, Nov 10 at 8:27pm by Rotowire.com
Scripted out of production
Foreman recorded seven rushes for 23 yards in Sunday's 42-21 loss to the Bengals. He added two receptions for minus-2 yards.
Analysis: Foreman had little chance to impact the game, as the Panthers couldn't maintain any type of offensive production and also fell behind by 35 points by halftime. As a result, even in the absence of Chuba Hubbard (ankle), Foreman was a non-factor. He could be in a position to bounce back in Thursday's Week 10 matchup against the Falcons -- particularly if Hubbard remains sidelined.
Set to start again Sunday
Foreman is in line to lead the Panthers backfield Sunday at Cincinnati with Chuba Hubbard (ankle) missing a second game in a row.
Analysis: With Christian McCaffrey out of the picture the last two contests, Foreman has helped pick up the slack on the ground, which has been aided by Hubbard missing a good portion of Week 7 and all of Week 8. During that stretch, Foreman has racked up 41 carries for 236 yards and three touchdowns to go with two catches (on three targets) for 27 yards. While he'll continue to get the bulk of the RB touches this weekend, Foreman may yield the occasional rep to Raheem Blackshear and potentially practice…read more

Runs in three TDs in OT loss
Foreman rushed 26 times for 118 yards and three touchdowns in Sunday's 37-34 overtime loss to Atlanta. He didn't catch his only target and ran in a two-point conversion.
Analysis: Foreman was the focal point of Carolina's offense with fellow running back Chuba Hubbard (ankle) ruled out. With the PJ Walker-led passing game struggling in the first half, a two-yard Foreman touchdown gave the Panthers a 10-7 lead in the second quarter, and he went into halftime with 73 rushing yards on 13 carries. Foreman kept it going in the second half, producing a one-yard touchdown followed by a two-point conversion to tie the game at 21 early in the fourth quarter before tying the game…read more

Set to lead backfield sans Hubbard
Foreman is expected to lead the Carolina backfield Sunday against Atlanta with teammate Chuba Hubbard (ankle) ruled out, The Associated Press reports.
Analysis: The Panthers haven't done much on offense this season, but Foreman and Hubbard combined for 218 total yards last week in a 21-3 win over the Buccaneers in Carolina's first game after the Christian McCaffrey trade. While that type of cumulative production won't happen most weeks, Foreman has a nice opportunity ahead of him with Hubbard unavailable against a struggling Atlanta defense. Raheem Blackshear is the only other healthy tailback on the active roster, though Panthers interim head coach…read more

Eclipses century mark in upset win
Foreman rushed 15 times for 118 yards and secured both targets for 27 yards in the Panthers' 21-3 win over the Buccaneers on Sunday.
Analysis: Although pregame reports indicated Foreman would open the post-Christian McCaffrey era playing second fiddle to Chuba Hubbard (ankle) in Carolina's backfield, it was the former who led the way in rush attempts and yardage with his teammate exiting the game early. A significant chunk of Foreman's yardage came on a 60-yard run, but the one-time third-round pick of the Texans still gained a respectable 58 yards on his other 14 carries and also made solid contributions in the passing game. Hubbard…read more
Won't start in place of McCaffrey
Foreman will serve as the Panthers' No. 2 running back Sunday against the Buccaneers with Chuba Hubbard listed as the starter, Darin Gantt of the team's official site reports.
Analysis: In the wake of the Christian McCaffrey trade to the 49ers, there was a belief Foreman could be the primary early-down option out of Carolina's backfield, but Hubbard instead will get the first chance to serve as McCaffrey's replacement. Foreman should mix into the offense in some capacity, but he's managed just 3.1 YPC on his 12 rushes this season and has been targeted only 22 times in 32 career contests, so he may be limited to situational work moving forward.
Could lead post-CMC committee
Interim coach Steve Wilks said Friday that Foreman and Chuba Hubbard will form a running back committee following the trade that sent Christian McCaffrey to the 49ers, though Carolina plans to ride the hot hand, Joe Person of The Athletic reports. Ellis Williams of the Charlotte Observer expects Foreman to get most of the work on early downs.
Analysis: Foreman and Hubbard were used sparingly while McCaffrey was on the team, but Foreman had the slight edge in playing time between the backups. Considering Foreman had three 100-yard rushing performances for the Titans after Derrick Henry got hurt last season, he could provide decent production if he's able to hold off Hubbard for touches.
Published: Fri, Oct 21 at 10:12am by Rotowire.com
In line for increased carries
Foreman will likely split carries with Chuba Hubbard for the Panthers after Christian McCaffrey was traded Thursday.
Analysis: McCaffrey dominated the work out of Carolina's backfield through six games this season, so there will be a significant number of touches available after he was traded to the 49ers. It's unclear whether Foreman or Chuba Hubbard will lead the running backs corps moving forward, as Foreman has seen 12 carries as compared to Hubbard's six. A fairly even split could continue, which would limit the fantasy potential of both backs -- particularly considering the poor state of the Panthers' offense.
Published: Thu, Oct 20 at 8:51pm by Rotowire.com
Garners five carries
Foreman rushed five times for 19 yards in Sunday's 24-10 loss to the Rams.
Analysis: Foreman's 10 offensive snaps topped fellow backup Chuba Hubbard's four. Although that involvement yielded a season high in carries, Foreman's production remained limited overall. With the Panthers seeing another quarterback injured Sunday, they could rely more on the ground game in Week 7 versus the Bucs, but Foreman's stock is nonetheless capped by Christian McCaffrey's dynamic presence above him.
Gets two carries
Foreman rushed twice for two yards in Sunday's 37-15 loss to the 49ers.
Analysis: Foreman played just three offensive snaps behind star Christian McCaffrey. Although it's encouraging that Foreman at least got the ball while teammate Chuba Hubbard didn't on any of his 11 offensive plays, both running backs possess minimal value as long as McCaffrey is available.
Only one touch
Foreman rushed once for two yards in Sunday's 26-16 loss to the Cardinals.
Analysis: Foreman and fellow backup Chuba Hubbard combined for just seven offensive snaps Sunday, leaving little value behind Christian McCaffrey despite the star tailback nursing a thigh injury in the buildup to Week 4.
Published: Tue, Oct 4 at 6:33am by Rotowire.com
Plays four offensive snaps in win
Foreman failed to record a single rush in Sunday's 22-14 win over the Saints.
Analysis: Foreman was clearly not a part of the game plan Sunday, as he played just four of the Panthers' 61 offensive snaps. As usual, Christian McCaffrey played the majority of snaps at running back, with Chuba Hubbard recording only three rushing attempts in the contest on only seven snaps. It's possible that the 26-year-old may have lost his place as McCaffrey's top backup, but both his and Hubbard's snap shares were too similar to jump to any definitive conclusions. With that said, neither Foreman…read more
Foreman rushed twice for nine yards in Sunday's 19-16 loss to the Giants.
Analysis: Foreman carried on two of his three offensive snaps, playing a tiny role behind star tailback Christian McCaffrey. With teammate Chuba Hubbard fumbling the opening kickoff, however, Foreman's place as McCaffrey's top backup should remain intact heading into Week 3 versus the Saints.
Barely features Sunday
Foreman rushed two times for five yards in Sunday's 26-24 loss to the Browns.
Analysis: Foreman barely saw the field in his first game as a Panther, featuring for seven snaps. On the bright side, he played more than teammate Chuba Hubbard, who logged three plays. Based on Sunday, though, both players seem destined for small roles as long as star Christian McCaffrey is healthy.

Three goal-line touches
Foreman carried the ball three times for six yards in Friday's preseason win over the Bills. He also added two receptions for 10 yards and a touchdown.
Analysis: Foreman followed Chuba Hubbard into the game, but two of his three carries came at the goal line. Foreman also punched in one of the team's two touchdowns with a two-yard reception midway through the first quarter. The battle between Hubbard and Foreman for the backup running job in Carolina is worth monitoring early in the season -- particularly given Christian McCaffrey's recent injury history.
Published: Fri, Aug 26 at 9:15pm by Rotowire.com
Gets start Friday
Foreman carried the ball seven times for 16 yards in Friday's preseason game against the Patriots.
Analysis: The offseason signing got the start ahead of Chuba Hubbard in this one with Christian McCaffrey once again held out, but neither Foreman nor Hubbard impressed with roughly equal workloads, and no Carolina back managed a run of longer than seven yards on an ineffective night overall for the offense. It seems as though the battle for the Panthers' No. 2 RB spot will continue into next week's preseason finale against the Bills.
Works behind Hubbard
Foreman rushed three times for five yards in Saturday's 23-21 preseason win over the Commanders.
Analysis: Foreman entered the game behind Chuba Hubbard, who started at running back with Christian McCaffrey sitting out. Although Hubbard only carried four times for 11 yards, his competition with Foreman to serve as McCaffrey's primary backup should be worth monitoring during the preseason.
Published: Sun, Aug 14 at 2:20pm by Rotowire.com
Returns to practice
Foreman is practicing Wednesday after dealing with a minor foot/ankle injury Tuesday, David Newton of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Foreman, a free-agent addition, hopes to supplant 2021 fourth-round pick Chuba Hubbard as the No. 2 back in Carolina. It doesn't sound like Foreman's minor foot injury will have much impact on their competition.
Published: Wed, Aug 3 at 8:43am by Rotowire.com
Banged up in practice
Foreman appeared to suffer a foot or ankle injury at Tuesday's practice and rode a bike on the side after exiting the session, Augusta Stone of panthers.com reports.
Analysis: It's a good sign Foreman stayed on the sideline and was able to move around under his own power, perhaps hinting at a bruise or minor sprain rather than something more serious. He and Chuba Hubbard are competing for backup roles behind do-it-all back Christian McCaffrey, who made only 10 appearances total the past two seasons after starting his career with three straight 16-game campaigns.
Published: Tue, Aug 2 at 12:57pm by Rotowire.com
Set to serve in complementary role
Carolina is hoping Foreman can provide a bigger, more physical complement to Christian McCaffrey and Chuba Hubbard in the backfield in 2022, Darin Gantt of the team's official site reports.
Analysis: Foreman was brought aboard this offseason after filling in admirably for the injured Derrick Henry with the Titans in 2021. In nine games, he rushed 133 times for 566 yards (4.3 per carry) and three touchdowns, and he caught nine of 11 targets for 123 more yards. Although Hubbard proved to be a serviceable replacement while McCaffrey missed 10 games last season, he doesn't pack the punch that the 6-foot-1, 236-pound Foreman does. When healthy, McCaffrey should be the focus of Carolina's…read more

Joining Carolina
Foreman agreed to terms on a contract with the Panthers on Tuesday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: Foreman was a midseason signing of the Titans last fall as the team looked to fill the void left behind by Derrick Henry, who was lost for the rest of the regular season in Week 8 due to a broken bone in his foot. Foreman seized the opportunity, averaging 4.6 yards on his 137 carries while hauling in nine of 11 targets for 123 yards and scoring three touchdowns in 10 games (including Tennessee's divisional-round loss to the Bengals). With the Panthers, he'll clearly be behind Christian…read more

Produces in relief
Foreman rushed the ball four times for 66 yards in Saturday's 19-16 divisional-round loss to the Bengals.
Analysis: Foreman was relegated to backup duties due to the return of Derrick Henry (foot). Though that limited his opportunities, he was effective when called upon by ripping off gains of 45, 10 and nine yards. Tennessee's season ended in disappointing fashion, but it was very successful for Foreman from a personal perspective. He earned a career-high 133 carries to gain 566 yards and three touchdowns, which came primarily when he served as the team's lead back while Henry was sidelined. Foreman will…read more
Drop in touches expected
Foreman will likely play a reduced role in Saturday's divisional round against the Bengals, as Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports that the Titans have activated Derrick Henry (foot) from injured reserve.
Analysis: Even if Henry's not ready to return to his customary workhorse role right away, he'll likely get the majority of rushing attempts in Tennessee's backfield. Henry should usurp Foreman's early-down role, while Dontrell Hilliard's workload on passing downs will likely remain intact. After topping 20 rushing attempts in three of the past four games, Foreman will be fighting an uphill battle to even reach half that total against Cincinnati.
Can't get going
Foreman rushed the ball 21 times for 69 yards in Sunday's 28-25 win over Houston. He added one reception for 15 yards.
Analysis: Foreman dominated work out of the backfield, out-touching Dontrell Hilliard 21-10. Even so, his production left plenty to be desired, as he averaged only 3.3 yards per carry while failing to find the end zone. His run as the Titans' lead back is also likely to be over as Derrick Henry (foot) has been activated from injured reserve with the expectation that he'll be able to return to the field for the team's postseason run.
Big bounceback effort
Foreman rushed the ball 26 times for 132 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 34-3 win over the Dolphins.
Analysis: Foreman continued to handle the lead-back role for Tennessee, and he bounced back in a big way from a disappointing Week 16 performance. He benefited from a positive game script from a volume perspective to log a career-high 26 carries. Foreman also made the most of his opportunity by ripping off big gains of 35 and 14 yards in addition to notching a 21-yard touchdown late in the second quarter. Though the Titans use three backs, Foreman has managed to top 100 rushing yards in three of his…read more
Touchdown salvages poor performance
Foreman recorded nine carries for 17 yards and a touchdown in Thursday's 20-17 win over San Francisco.
Analysis: Foreman narrowly led the Titans' backfield by accounting for nine of the team's 24 rushing attempts. However, he was out-gained by both Jeremy McNichols and Dontrell Hilliard, with Foreman's longest rush of the day going for only eight yards. Adding to the disappointing effort was the fact that Foreman did not earn a target after posting multiple receptions in each of his last two contests. Even given all those negatives, Foreman managed to salvage his performance on a three-yard touchdown run…read more

Full practice Tuesday
Foreman (ankle) practiced in full Tuesday, John Glennon of SI.com reports.
Analysis: Foreman opened Week 16 prep with a limited showing at Monday's walkthrough, so bumping up to all activity one day later more or less clears him for Thursday's game against the 49ers. Over the last six contests, Foreman racked up 85 touches while Dontrell Hilliard and Jeremy McNichols combined for 79 touches during that span.

Tending to ankle issue
Foreman was limited by an ankle injury at Monday's walkthrough, John Glennon of SI.com reports.
Analysis: Foreman has the upper hand in the Titans backfield in the wake of Derrick Henry's broken right foot. Since joining the team ahead of a Week 9 matchup with the Rams, Foreman has 85 touches for 456 yards and one rushing TD in six games. Meanwhile, Dontrell Hilliard and Jeremy McNichols have combined for 79 touches during that span. The team may just be managing Foreman's health with a Thursday game versus the Cardinals on the docket. Still, his status should be monitored to ensure he's available…read more

Tops 100 yards
Foreman recorded 22 rushes for 108 yards in Sunday's 19-13 loss to Pittsburgh. He added two receptions for 27 yards.
Analysis: Foreman dominated work out of Tennessee's backfield with Dontrell Hilliard seeing only nine rushes and Jeremy McNichols six. Foreman took advantage of the opportunity, racking up chunk gains of 20 and 12 yards to top 100 rushing yards for the second time in his last three games. While Hillard served as the primary pass catcher out of the backfield, Foreman has also chipped in multiple receptions for the second consecutive contest. The only thing missing from Foreman's effort was a trip to the…read more
Serves as lead back
Foreman recorded 13 carries for 47 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 20-0 win over the Jaguars. He added two receptions on two targets for 15 yards.
Analysis: Foreman accounted for 13 of the Titans' 34 rushing attempts, though no other back on the team surpassed eight carries. He wasn't particularly efficient as he managed only 3.6 yards per carry, and his longest gain went for only eight yards. However, Foreman did manage to find the end zone on the Titans' first offensive possession, punching in an attempt from five yards away. Since being promoted to Tennessee's active roster in Week 9, Foreman has topped 60 total yards in three of four games.
Shines in Week 12 loss
Foreman rushed 19 times for 109 yards, brought in his only target for three yards and lost a fumble in the Titans' 36-13 loss to the Patriots on Sunday.
Analysis: With a makeshift receiving corps, the Titans turned heavily toward the run with success. Foreman was one of the beneficiaries, consistently ripping off solid gains, including a 30-yard scamper. With backfield mate Dontrell Hilliard actually outpacing Foreman with 131 yards on 12 carries, it will be interesting to see what the division of labor in the Tennessee ground attack looks like during a Week 14 home matchup versus the Jaguars following a Week 13 bye.
Likely to lead ground attack
Foreman is expected to receive the "bulk of the carries" for the Titans in Sunday's game against the Patriots, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: Following the Titans' decision to waive Adrian Peterson earlier this week, Foreman looks poised to serve as the No. 1 option on the ground for Tennessee, at least until Derrick Henry (foot) potentially returns from injured reserve in the final weeks of the regular season. With Peterson out of the mix and Jeremy McNichols (concussion) sidelined for the second week in a row, Dontrell Hilliard is the only competition Foreman will face for backfield reps Sunday, but the 5-foot-11, 202-pound…read more

Set to suit up Sunday
Foreman (tricep), who was listed as limited on Titans injury reports this week, doesn't have a designation for Sunday's game in New England, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.
Analysis: Meanwhile, fellow running back Jeremy McNichols (concussion) didn't practice at all this week and will miss a second consecutive contest, leaving Foreman and Dontrell Hilliard to man Tennessee's backfield Sunday. In three appearances for the team, Foreman has hovered between 18 and 36 percent of offensive snaps, but that number may increase with just two RBs available to the offense. Overall, he's averaged 3.7 yards on his 23 carries and gathered in all three targets for 63 yards. When the…read more

Limited at practice Wednesday
Foreman was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice due to a triceps injury, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.
Analysis: Meanwhile, fellow running back Jeremy McNichols (concussion) didn't practice, and with Adrian Peterson no longer in the mix after being waived Tuesday, Dontrell Hilliard currently profiles as the Titans' top healthy backfield option. Assuming Foreman is able to play Sunday against the Patriots, he would be in line to share work with Hilliard, with Rodney Smith a candidate to be elevated from the team's practice squad should McNichols remain sidelined this weekend.

Analysis: A week after leading the Titans in carries, Foreman slipped behind Adrian Peterson's workload of nine carries. That could have been in part due to Foreman's ineffectiveness, as he managed to average 3.6 yards per carry with his longest rush going for a gain of only nine. Since joining the Titans in Week 9, Foreman has recorded 23 carries for 84 yards across three games.
Leads backfield
Foreman carried the ball 11 times for 30 yards in Sunday's 23-21 win over the Saints. He added two receptions for 48 yards.
Analysis: Foreman led the Titans' backfield with 11 carries, and he out-paced Adrian Peterson both in opportunity and production on the ground. However, his primary contributions came on receptions of 39 and nine yards. Foreman has quickly found himself in a significant role with the Titans both as a rusher and pass catcher, as he now has 16 rushing attempts and two receptions in a pair of games with the team. Despite his relatively secure role in the offense, Foreman is still stuck in a three-way split…read more
Sees five carries
Foreman recorded five rushes for 29 yards in Sunday's 28-16 win over the Rams.
Analysis: After signing with Tennessee earlier in the week, Foreman finished third on the team in carries behind Adrian Peterson and Jeremy McNichols in the absence of Derrick Henry (foot). Foreman was fairly effective in his opportunities, racking up gains of 11 and eight yards on the ground. It's likely that he will remain in line for at least some work going forward, though it appears the Titans are willing to utilize a split between Peterson, McNichols and Foreman out of the backfield.

Bumped up from practice squad
The Titans signed Foreman to the active roster Saturday, John Glennon of BroadwaySportsMedia.com reports.
Analysis: Tennessee signed Foreman to the practice squad earlier this week after Derrick Henry (foot) was placed on IR. With the Titans also adding Adrian Peterson, it's likely Foreman will file in behind Jeremy McNichols and Peterson at running back Sunday against the Rams.

Joins Tennessee's practice squad
Foreman was signed to the Titans' practice squad Tuesday.
Analysis: Foreman joins fellow running backs Dontrell Hilliard and Adrian Peterson on the Titans' practice squad, and they are candidates to be elevated to the active roster with Derrick Henry expected to be out for an extended period. The Texas product was with Tennessee last season and carried the rock 22 times for 95 yards across six appearances. Nonetheless, Jeremy McNichols and Peterson (once promoted from the practice squad as expected) seem likely to operate as the lead backs, with Foreman and…read more

Works out for Washington
Foreman worked out for Washington on Monday, Aaron Wilson of Sportstalk 790 Houston reports.
Analysis: Foreman was released from the Falcons' practice squad in early September, but he'll have a chance to secure a role with Washington. The 2017 third-rounder totaled 22 carries for 95 yards across six appearances with the Titans last year.
Released from practice squad
The Falcons released Foreman from the practice squad Friday.
Analysis: Foreman latched on to Atlanta's practice squad after being part of cuts Tuesday but is now a practice squad casualty to make room for the team's pair of signings Friday. He is now free to search for work with another club.

Joins Falcons' practice squad
Atlanta signed Foreman to the practice squad Wednesday, John Deighton of the team's official site reports.
Analysis: Foreman and fellow running back Caleb Huntley both inked with the Falcons' practice squad after clearing waivers. Atlanta currently only has Qadree Ollison and Cordarrelle Patterson on the roster behind starter Mike Davis, so both Foreman and Huntley could be real candidates to bump up to the 53-man squad should any positional injuries occur.

Cut by Atlanta
Foreman was cut by the Falcons on Tuesday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: Foreman signed with Atlanta on Aug. 9 but apparently didn't show enough in the preseason to earn a spot on the initial 53-man roster. The 25-year-old appeared in six games with 22 carries for 95 yards with the Titans last season, and he'll now look to latch on with a new team after the brief stint with the Falcons.
Gets work immediately
Foreman carried the ball three times for 10 yards in Atlanta's preseason opener against Tennessee on Friday.
Analysis: Foreman joined the Falcons on Aug. 9, and the team wasted no time getting him into game action. He was the third back on the field behind Caleb Huntley and Javian Hawkins, with backs further up the depth chart sitting the contest out. Foreman didn't do anything spectacular but did manage a gain of four yards and two runs that went for three yards. Foreman projects to fight for a depth roster spot with Huntley and Hawkins for the remainder of the preseason.
Signs with Atlanta
Foreman signed with the Falcons on Monday.
Analysis: Foreman visited with Atlanta last week and now will join one of the league's thinnest backfields. He should get some chances this preseason, competing with Qadree Ollison, Cordarrelle Patterson, Javian Hawkins and Caleb Huntley behind starter Mike Davis. The 25-year-old Foreman has played just 17 games since the Texans picked him, 89th overall, in the 2017 draft.

Checking in with Atlanta
Foreman is visiting with the Falcons on Monday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Analysis: It'd be hard to find a team with a thinner backfield, but that doesn't mean Foreman will waltz into a Week 1 roster spot if he signs. The 25-year-old has already has suffered an Achilles tear and a biceps tear in the NFL, despite making only 17 regular-season appearances. Foreman did get some work behind Derrick Henry in Tennessee last year, taking 23 touches for 100 yards and a TD in six games.

Checking in with Seahawks
Foreman had a tryout with the Seahawks on Monday, Field Yates of ESPN reports.
Analysis: The 25-year-old appeared in six games for Tennessee last season and totaled 22 carries for 95 yards while also catching a five-yard touchdown. Foreman had 410 yards from scrimmage and two touchdowns over 10 games as a rookie for Houston in 2017, but he's failed to have much of an impact otherwise across the past three seasons.

Proves to be healthy
Foreman totaled 22 carries for 95 yards across six regular-season games in 2020 with the Titans. He added one reception for five yards and a touchdown.
Analysis: Foreman entered the season without a team, but he joined the Titans' practice squad and was elevated to the active roster within a month. Though he was splitting backup reps with Jeremy McNichols, Foreman showed flashes of promise as a runner by ripping off a few carries of more than 10 yards. Most importantly, Foreman proved capable of staying healthy, something he struggled to do after tearing his Achilles and biceps within his first three years in the league. He signed a one-year deal to…read more

Healthy scratch Week 14
Foreman (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Jaguars.
Analysis: The 24-year-old joined the active roster in early November and had 22 carries for 95 yards over the past six games, but he won't be suiting up for Sunday's contest. Jeremy McNichols will serve as the backup to Derrick Henry, and the return of Darrynton Evans from injured reserve should push Foreman even further down the depth chart.
Upgraded Thursday
Foreman (knee) was a full participant during Thursday's practice, Turron Davenport of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Foreman was unable to practice in any capacity Wednesday, so the fact that he was fully cleared is a positive sign for his Week 13 availability. Now that the Texas product appears fully healthy, he's expected to continue to split the reps left behind Derrick Henry with Jeremy McNichols for Sunday's game against Cleveland.

Starts week with missed practice
Foreman (knee) didn't practice Wednesday, Paul Kuharsky of 104.5 The Zone Radio reports.
Analysis: Foreman has been splitting the backfield reps left over behind workhorse Derrick Henry with Jeremy McNichols. If Foreman's knee injury doesn't heal up in time for Sunday's game against the Browns, McNichols would likely see a few extra touches in his change-of-pace role.

Volume rebounds in big win
Foreman carried the ball four times for 28 yards in Week 12 against the Colts.
Analysis: Foreman saw his volume rebound in the Titans' blowout win after receiving only one carry in Week 11. However, he contributed a bit even when the game was close, recording gains of five and 12 yards on a touchdown-scoring drive that put the Titans up 28-14. Foreman continues to split backup duties with Jeremy McNichols.
Foreman rushed the ball one time for one yard in Week 11 against the Ravens.
Analysis: Foreman was the only back to receive a carry besides Derrick Henry in the contest. He was given minimal opportunity, though it is notable that he entered the game ahead of Jeremy McNichols. The backup role behind Henry will become only murkier once Darrynton Evans (hamstring) is able to return to game action.

Finds end zone against Colts
Foreman rushed seven times for 18 yards in Week 10 against the Colts. He added one reception for five yards and a touchdown.
Analysis: Foreman mixed in for snaps in place of Derrick Henry on the team's first offensive possession and was left wide open on a rollout by Ryan Tannehill to tally his score. His next touch was late in the third quarter, and six of his seven carries came with under three minutes remaining in the fourth quarter. Even with the garbage-time work, Jeremy McNichols saw more of the field, logging 17 offensive snaps in comparison to Foreman's nine.

Role increasing
Foreman carried the ball five times for 11 yards in Week 9 against the Bears.
Analysis: Foreman logged five carries for the second consecutive week, this time receiving more work than Jeremy McNichols. It's not entirely clear that Foreman has surpassed McNichols, however, as McNichols was on the field for 29 percent of offensive snaps in contrast to Foreman's 15 percent rate. Also worth considering is that Darrynton Evans (hamstring) is eligible to be activated from injured reserve as early as the team's Week 10 matchup against the Colts and would likely slot back in as the team's…read more

Inks contract with Titans
The Titans signed Foreman to the 53-man roster Saturday, Jim Wyatt of the team's official site reports.
Analysis: Foreman suited up for the Titans in last week's loss to the Bengals and looked quite good, rushing five times for 37 yards. Derrick Henry remains the team's bell cow, but Foreman and Jeremy McNichols should both garner a few reps moving forward. However, it's possible that Foreman's stint on the active roster only lasts as long as Darrynton Evans (hamstring) is on IR.
Slides back to practice squad
Foreman reverted to the Titans' practice squad after making his team debut during Sunday's 31-20 loss to Cincinnati, per the NFL's official transaction log.
Analysis: Foreman was effective in limited usage, collecting 37 yards on five carries over six offensive snaps. Granted, a large portion of that rushing production came on a single 15-yard scamper at the 3:11 mark of the first quarter, but Foreman also contributed gains of six and 11 yards on two of his other carries. Jeremy McNichols showed ability with 49 rushing yards on four attempts of his own, though Foreman may have earned himself another promotion in the near future given his efficiency Sunday.
Makes Titans debut
Foreman carried the ball five times for 37 yards in Week 8 against the Bengals.
Analysis: Foreman finished second on the team with five carries and mixed into drives in every quarter of the game. However, he was still out-snapped, 22-6, by Jeremy McNichols, meaning Foreman is likely the third back on the depth chart for the time being.
Joins 53-man roster
Foreman was elevated from the practice squad ahead of Sunday's game against the Bengals.
Analysis: After Sunday the running back will return to the practice squad. Foreman will give the Titans some extra running back depth behind Derrick Henry and Jeremy McNichols.
Published: Sat, Oct 31 at 10:58am by Rotowire.com
Joins Titans' practice squad
Foreman signed with Tennessee's practice squad Monday, Paul Kuharsky of The Midday 180 reports.
Analysis: Foreman will provide some extra running back depth for the Titans franchise. He has appeared in 11 NFL games, all with the Texans, rushing 85 times for 326 yards and two touchdowns.
