Default Colts signed RB D'onta Foreman

Colts signed RB D'onta Foreman, formerly of the Texans.

Backup RB Keith Ford was waived in a corresponding move. Recently waived by the Texans himself, Foreman lands in a loaded backfield as the likely early-down backup to Marlon Mack. Nyheim Hines, Jordan Wilkins, and Jonathan Williams round out the rest of the roster, with Spencer Ware likely seeking out an injury settlement to play elsewhere. It's worth noting longtime beat reporter John McClain of the Houston Chronicle believes the Texans waived Foreman because they were unsatisfied with his "work habits" — something that obviously won't stand in Indy. If Mack is dealt another season of nagging ailments, though, it's Foreman who'll be a name to monitor as the power-running successor (despite his ongoing ACL recovery). In the meantime, Mack remains an unequivocal RB2 across all formats.

The reporter got it a bit wrong. We claimed him, not signed him.

IYAM, this was a preemptive move to keep other teams from getting him easily. Kick the tires and let him go if he's a lazy bum.

I was about to post the same thing. It appears Rotoworld got it wrong...if you follow the link to the reporter's twitter account, it indicates the move was by waiver claim.

Why not, perhaps a new team will help him, wouldn't be the first time.

I think he tore his Achilles and initially did well. He got in the doghouse in Houston. Worth a look

Sure, I agree, he probably signed something.....but it wasn't a contract.


I am interested to see if Reich and Rathman can get through to him - I am sure it will be quite a different experience vs. Texans head coach BOB......assuming he has anything left after the Achilles tear.

Today the Colts placed RB D’Onta Foreman and WR Daurice Fountain on the IR list and waived S Derrick Kindred.

In a corresponding roster move, the Colts signed free agent S Kai Nacua, free agent RB Charcandrick West and undrafted free agent RB Marquis Young.
