The Houston Texans were expecting big things from D’Onta Foreman when they drafted him in the second round two years ago, but the running back’s tenure with the team has come to a disappointing end.
As John McClain of the Houston Chronicle first reported, the Texans have waived Foreman. The move came after head coach Bill O’Brien made it clear he was not happy with where Foreman was at this offseason.
The Texans placed RB D’Onta Foreman on waivers. They weren’t happy with his work habits. RBs on the roster are veterans Josh Ferguson, Buddy Howell and Taiwan Jones and undrafted rookies Damarea Crockett and Karan Higdon Jr.

During camp, it was apparent Bill O’Brien wasn’t happy with Foreman. Asked after a practice about the third RB spot, O’Brien said, “Who’re the first two?” When Lamar Miller and Foreman were mentioned, he said, “Miller,” and went on to explain the backup job was “wide open.”

Foreman, a former Texas star, is just 23. He should get another shot fairly quickly, though he did suffer a serious injury during his rookie season two years ago. He played in just one game last year and had seven rushing attempts.
