Cleveland Browns running back D’Onta Foreman exited the preseason game against the Seattle Seahawks with a rib injury. Foreman suffered the injury when he was tackled during the second quarter. Foreman could walk off the field and enter the medical tent without help from trainers. Foreman is questionable to return.
Foreman signed with the Browns in the offseason to bolster the Browns’ backfield. The 6-foot-0 and 235-pound running back was brought to Cleveland to be the power back this year. Foreman’s unique blend of speed, size, and power makes him a weapon for the offense. The Browns will deploy a running-back-by-committee until Nick Chubb is healthy enough to win back the lion’s share of touches.
Foreman is a talented runner, but the back hasn’t been healthy in his short time in Cleveland. Foreman suffered a serious neck injury at the Greenbrier Hotel during the Browns’ training camp. The Browns need Foreman to start the season healthy until Chubb can return.
