Foreman is expected to fill the roster spot left by Kareem Hunt, taking over as the physical, short-yardage battering ram. When he has seen significant touches, Foreman has been an exceptionally efficient back. The Browns will hope to get him back on the field soon.

It’s great news that Foreman has movement in all of his extremities as we continue to wait for more updates on the veteran running back.
