D'Onta Foreman Set To Return In Week 17
11 months agoChicago Bears running back D'Onta Foreman missed Week 16 due to personal reasons, but he logged a full practice on Wednesday and appears all set to return in Week 17. Khalil Herbert acted as the lead back in Week 16 and thrived, rushing for over 100 yards. Foreman has been the preferred back when the room is healthy, and he will likely slot back into the early-down rusher role in Week 17. While the veteran running back is unlikely to see a workload similar to other weeks this year where he saw at least 15 touches, he should see 10-12 opportunities, including some near the goal line. The Bears take on the Falcons in Week 17, who allow the second-fewest points per game to running backs this season. The Bears' backfield is likely better to avoid entirely due to their committee approach, especially ahead of a tough Week 17 matchup.
