Browns running back D’Onta Foreman was immobilized, carted off the field, and eventually left practice in an ambulance, per Daryl Ruiter. Soon after, the Browns organization released a statement saying, “Foreman sustained a direct blow to the head that resulted in neck pain.” They added that he was taken to a medical center in Roanoke, Virginia for further assessment and has movement in all extremities.
Foreman was added to the Browns roster this offseason to provide depth and a veteran presence in the locker room. As Nick Chubb continues to rehab from a gruesome knee injury suffered in week two of last season, Cleveland could be leaning on their depth again this year. With Foreman’s long-term status uncertain, Jerome Ford and Pierre Strong are two of the only running backs currently active in Browns training camp. Both Chubb and newly acquired Nyheim Hines remain on the PUP list. Regardless of the length of Foreman’s absence, Cleveland could look to a familiar face to play a similar role. Kareem Hunt remains on the free agency market, and his familiarity with the team and system makes him a candidate to return.
Foreman, a veteran who’s played for multiple NFL franchises, inked a one-year contract with the Cleveland Browns earlier this offseason. The 28-year-old has had a late-career resurgence, most notably rushing for over 900 yards and five touchdowns in 2022.
