Foreman saw an uptick in utilization towards the end of the season following season-ending injuries to Nick Chubb and Jerome Ford, but he struggled with the opportunity in an offense that went 24 consecutive drives without a touchdown before a fourth quarter touchdown in Week 18. The soon-to-be unrestricted free agent ends the 2024 season with 71 carries for 232 yards and no touchdowns, adding just six receptions.

Foreman may have exited this game as the Browns’ only healthy running back. Both Jerome Ford (ankle) and Pierre Strong Jr. (head) suffered injuries and Ford logged just one offensive snap after returning. Foreman is a touchdown-dependent RB4 against the Ravens in Week 17.

Foreman’s first and only touches of the day came on the Browns’ first drive of the game. A 66-yard run by Jerome Ford kickstarted the drive before the Browns worked their way down to the Bengals’ two-yard line. Foreman would pick up one yard on his first carry since Week 8, but was stonewalled at the goal-line on his second carry and lost a fumble. It would be the last we would hear of Foreman, who will have no fantasy value in next week’s game against the Dolphins.

Even with snowy, swirling conditions descending on Cleveland for Thursday Night Football, the Browns decided they didn’t need Foreman active as an extra pair of legs out of the backfield. The 28-year-old is going to have a frosty free agent market next March.
