Foreman was injured while practicing the new kickoff changes. The veteran took a hit to the head and complained of neck pains. Teams cannot be too careful when players suffer head and neck injuries. Mary Kay Cabot of the Cleveland Plain Dealer reported the Browns believe this to be precautionary.
Ideally, Foreman isn’t too badly banged up. He is a talented back with a rare size, strength, and speed blend. The Browns could use his skill to compensate for Nick Chubb, who will likely be out at the start of the season, or Kareem Hunt, as the short-yardage back.
The Browns have a talented group of running backs this season. The Browns brought back Jerome Ford, Pierre Strong Jr., John Kelly Jr., and Nick Chubb while bringing in veteran backs Nyheim Hines and Foreman. Hopefully, Foreman can join the group at practice in no time.
