Foreman, a Texas Longhorns product, was a third-round pick by the Houston Texans in 2017. He spent two seasons with the Texans before joining the Tennessee Titans in 2020.
Over two seasons with the Titans, Foreman didn't get much playing time in the backfield. However, he had a breakout season with the Carolina Panthers in 2022, rushing for 914 yards with five touchdowns.

Foreman spent time with the Chicago Bears last season, tallying 425 yards and four touchdowns on the ground in nine games (eight starts).
With the Browns, Foreman is trying to earn a roster spot in a crowded backfield that includes Nick Chubb, who begins training camp on the PUP list after suffering a gruesome leg injury that knocked him out of the 2023 regular season, Jerome Ford, and Pierre Strong Jr.
Foreman's injury is a setback for the Browns, who are counting on him to contribute in the backfield this season. However, the team's primary concern now is Foreman's health.
