The Facts: Perhaps no Texans player was under more scrutiny this offseason than Foreman following a disappointing, injury-plagued year. He has worked diligently this offseason to get in better shape and reported for the conditioning program down to a much leaner 230 pounds. “D'Onta, he’s come back in good shape," GM Brian Gaine said Thursday.

Diehards Line: The former University of Texas consensus All-American's season was impacted heavily by a torn Achilles tendon suffered as a rookie and began last season on the physically unable to perform list. When he returned to action after being activated in December, Foreman clearly wasn't the same. He was clearly rusty and not in great football shape. Foreman returned against the Eagles and caught a touchdown pass. However, he rushed for minus-one yards on seven carries. ... But he's in position to get off to a faster start this year. "He had an unfortunate situation," Gaine explained. "Very difficult injury to return from as it relates to the running back position, so we’re pleased with his progress. It looks like he has put in the time and the commitment to be ready to go when we got here, got back here for the first day of the offseason program. I’ve been pleased with what I’ve seen, but there’s a lot of football left to be played, there’s a lot of offseason left to complete, but so far so good in terms of getting off on the right foot.” Prior to the injury, Foreman had shown enough that there was talk of him eventually replacing Pro Bowl running back Lamar Miller. Foreman rushed for 327 yards and two touchdowns as a rookie after being drafted in the third round. He'll be worth watching this summer.
