Browns' D'Onta Foreman: Big workload against Vikes

Foreman carried the ball 10 times for 18 yards and a touchdown and caught all five of his targets for 46 yards in Saturday's 27-12 preseason loss to the Vikings. He also returned one kickoff for 21 yards.

Foreman was not part of the starting lineup, but he did enter on the opening series once the Browns reached the red zone and punched in a one-yard TD to cap the drive. With Jerome Ford sitting out and Nick Chubb (knee) not ready for game action yet, Pierre Strong got the start Saturday in the Cleveland backfield and played only two series before checking out. Foreman then played into the third quarter, and he wound up leading the Browns in touches and yards from scrimmage. The journeyman made a solid case to begin the season as the No. 3 RB behind Ford and Strong, but Saturday's usage could also have been a sign the Browns are showcasing Foreman for a potential trade.
