Lions Working Out RB D’Onta Foreman

The Detroit Lions are working out free agent RB D’Onta Foreman, according to Tom Pelissero.

Foreman, 24, is a former third-round pick of the Texans back in 2017. He signed a four-year contract worth $3,159,484 that included a signing bonus of $759,484 with the Texans. 

Foreman was waived by Houston in 2019 after spending most of his time with them on the PUP list with an Achilles injury. He was later claimed by the Colts before ending up on injured reserve with a bicep injury.

Indianapolis later waived Foreman with an injury settlement and he’s been a free agent ever since. 

In 2017, Foreman rushed for 327 yards on 78 carries (4.2 YPC) to go along with six receptions for 83 yards receiving and two touchdowns over the course of 10 games. His 2017 season came to an end with him being placed on injured reserve.
