D'ONTA FOREMAN NEWS

Tops 20 carries Foreman rushed 21 times for 74 yards in Sunday's 30-24 win over the Seahawks. He also caught his only target for one yard.

Impact Foreman led the Panthers in carries despite being listed with a foot injury earlier in the week. While he matched Chuba Hubbard for the team's lead in rushing yardage, both Hubbard and third-string tailback Raheem Blackshear managed to find the end zone while Foreman didn't. While they also made larger contributions in the passing game, Foreman's status as Carolina's bell cow over the second half of the season gives his value a solid floor ahead of Week 15's matchup versus Pittsburgh.

Cleared for Week 14 Foreman (foot) was a full practice participant Friday and doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game in Seattle.

Impact Coming out of the Panthers' Week 13 bye, Foreman didn't practice Wednesday due to the foot issue, but he returned to the field Thursday as a limited participant before closing the week with an uncapped session. Foreman thus looks poised to return to his usual duties as the Panthers' lead option on the ground, with Chuba Hubbard on hand behind him for complementary work out of the backfield. Foreman draws a favorable Week 14 matchup against a Seattle defense that ranks 31st in the NFL with 155.3 rushing yards allowed per game.

Returns to limited practice Foreman (foot) was limited at practice Thursday, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site reports.

Impact In the wake of Carolina's Week 13 bye, Foreman was held out of drills Wednesday as he tends to a rib injury. He took a step in the right direction with his upgrade in participation Thursday, and Friday's practice report will reveal whether or not he exits the week with a designation for Sunday's game at Seattle. If Foreman ends up limited or out this weekend, Chuba Hubbard would be the biggest beneficiary out of the Panthers backfield.

Back at practice Foreman (foot) was in attendance for Thursday's practice and was sporting full pads during the portion of the session that was open to the media, Joe Person of The Athletic reports...

Impact After being listed as a non-participant in the Panthers' first official session Wednesday following the team's Week 13 bye, Foreman looks poised to go down as a limited or full participant when Carolina releases its second Week 14 injury report later Thursday. For his part, Foreman told Person on Wednesday that he's 95 percent certain he'll be able to play Sunday against the Seahawks. With that in mind, fantasy managers shouldn't worry too much about Foreman's availability this weekend, even if he goes down as a limited participant at Thursday's practice.

Practice absence confirmed Foreman (foot/ribs) didn't practice Wednesday, David Newton of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Foreman said he's dealing with injuries to his foot and ribs coming out of Carolina's Week 13 bye, but he tentatively expects to play in Sunday's game at Seattle. It's worth noting that he was rested on some Wednesdays previously after handling large workloads, so there shouldn't be much concern about his availability against the Seahawks so long as he returns to practice Thursday.

DECEMBER 7, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Not spotted at Wednesday's practice Foreman isn't present for the open portion of Wednesday's practice due to foot and rib injuries, Joe Person of The Athletic reports.

Impact The foot injury is one that Foreman sustained during the Panthers' Week 12 win over the Broncos and is something he's apparently still nursing coming out of Carolina's bye week. Person adds that Foreman noted Monday that he's also dealing with a rib injury, but he expects neither that issue nor the foot concern to prevent him from taking the field Sunday in Seattle. Over his last six appearances, Foreman has logged four 100-yard rushing performances, though in both of the other two contests he failed to eclipse 25 yards on the ground.

Bounces back against Denver Foreman rushed the ball 24 times for 113 yards in Sunday's 23-10 win over the Broncos.

Impact Foreman split work with Chuba Hubbard fairly evenly -- particularly early in the game -- but the duo combined for 41 rushing attempts in a run-heavy attack for Carolina. Foreman was also efficient, ripping off three double-digit gains to top 100 rushing yards for the fourth time this season and for as many times in the team's last six games. The Panthers are heading into a Week 13 bye, but Foreman will likely continue to shoulder a heavy workload for the rest of the season.

NOVEMBER 28, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Shut down in Week 11 loss Foreman rushed 11 times for 24 yards and failed to bring in his only target in the Panthers' 13-3 loss to the Ravens on Sunday.

Impact Foreman's chances of another breakout effort were slim coming in considering the Ravens' elite run defense, and an unproductive afternoon did indeed come to pass for the veteran back. Despite the quiet afternoon, Foreman still served in the clear lead role over backfield mate Chuba Hubbard, but both players will have another difficult matchup against a tough Broncos defense in a Week 12 home matchup.

NOVEMBER 11, 2022

Another 100-yard effort in win Foreman rushed 31 times for 130 yards and a touchdown and failed to bring in his only target during the Panthers' 25-15 win over the Falcons on Thursday night.

Impact Foreman remained in a workhorse role despite the return of Chuba Hubbard from his ankle injury. The veteran's carry and yardage tallies were career highs, and he made his fourth visit to the end zone with a 12-yard rush late in the third quarter. Given his ample success with expanded opportunities this season -- Foreman has 100-yard efforts in all three games during which he's logged double-digit carries -- he should remain the unquestioned leader of the backfield during a Week 11 home matchup against the Ravens a week from Sunday.

NOVEMBER 11, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Scripted out of production Foreman recorded seven rushes for 23 yards in Sunday's 42-21 loss to the Bengals. He added two receptions for minus-2 yards.

Impact Foreman had little chance to impact the game, as the Panthers couldn't maintain any type of offensive production and also fell behind by 35 points by halftime. As a result, even in the absence of Chuba Hubbard (ankle), Foreman was a non-factor. He could be in a position to bounce back in Thursday's Week 10 matchup against the Falcons -- particularly if Hubbard remains sidelined.

NOVEMBER 7, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Set to start again Sunday Foreman is in line to lead the Panthers backfield Sunday at Cincinnati with Chuba Hubbard (ankle) missing a second game in a row.

Impact With Christian McCaffrey out of the picture the last two contests, Foreman has helped pick up the slack on the ground, which has been aided by Hubbard missing a good portion of Week 7 and all of Week 8. During that stretch, Foreman has racked up 41 carries for 236 yards and three touchdowns to go with two catches (on three targets) for 27 yards. While he'll continue to get the bulk of the RB touches this weekend, Foreman may yield the occasional rep to Raheem Blackshear and potentially practice squad member Spencer Brown.

Runs in three TDs in OT loss Foreman rushed 26 times for 118 yards and three touchdowns in Sunday's 37-34 overtime loss to Atlanta. He didn't catch his only target and ran in a two-point conversion.

Impact Foreman was the focal point of Carolina's offense with fellow running back Chuba Hubbard (ankle) ruled out. With the PJ Walker-led passing game struggling in the first half, a two-yard Foreman touchdown gave the Panthers a 10-7 lead in the second quarter, and he went into halftime with 73 rushing yards on 13 carries. Foreman kept it going in the second half, producing a one-yard touchdown followed by a two-point conversion to tie the game at 21 early in the fourth quarter before tying the game at 28 by finding the end zone from 12 yards out. Even if Hubbard's cleared to play in Week 9 against the Bengals, Foreman has likely earned himself the lead role moving forward.

OCTOBER 30, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Set to lead backfield sans Hubbard Foreman is expected to lead the Carolina backfield Sunday against Atlanta with teammate Chuba Hubbard (ankle) ruled out, The Associated Press reports.

Impact The Panthers haven't done much on offense this season, but Foreman and Hubbard combined for 218 total yards last week in a 21-3 win over the Buccaneers in Carolina's first game after the Christian McCaffrey trade. While that type of cumulative production won't happen most weeks, Foreman has a nice opportunity ahead of him with Hubbard unavailable against a struggling Atlanta defense. Raheem Blackshear is the only other healthy tailback on the active roster, though Panthers interim head coach Steve Wilks said he still wants to use a backfield committee and might call up Spencer Brown from the practice squad before Sunday. Regardless, Foreman is a clear favorite to start and lead the team in carries.

Eclipses century mark in upset win Foreman rushed 15 times for 118 yards and secured both targets for 27 yards in the Panthers' 21-3 win over the Buccaneers on Sunday.

Impact Although pregame reports indicated Foreman would open the post-Christian McCaffrey era playing second fiddle to Chuba Hubbard (ankle) in Carolina's backfield, it was the former who led the way in rush attempts and yardage with his teammate exiting the game early. A significant chunk of Foreman's yardage came on a 60-yard run, but the one-time third-round pick of the Texans still gained a respectable 58 yards on his other 14 carries and also made solid contributions in the passing game. Hubbard was impressive in his own right before his injury with 63 yards and a score on nine carries -- along with a pair of catches in his own right -- so the two may continue operating in a fairly close timeshare arrangement moving forward when each is available.

OCTOBER 23, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Won't start in place of McCaffrey Foreman will serve as the Panthers' No. 2 running back Sunday against the Buccaneers with Chuba Hubbard listed as the starter, Darin Gantt of the team's official site reports.

Impact In the wake of the Christian McCaffrey trade to the 49ers, there was a belief Foreman could be the primary early-down option out of Carolina's backfield, but Hubbard instead will get the first chance to serve as McCaffrey's replacement. Foreman should mix into the offense in some capacity, but he's managed just 3.1 YPC on his 12 rushes this season and has been targeted only 22 times in 32 career contests, so he may be limited to situational work moving forward.

Impact Foreman and Hubbard were used sparingly while McCaffrey was on the team, but Foreman had the slight edge in playing time between the backups. Considering Foreman had three 100-yard rushing performances for the Titans after Derrick Henry got hurt last season, he could provide decent production if he's able to hold off Hubbard for touches.
