A year ago, Texans running back D'Onta Foreman suffered a serious injury when he ruptured his Achilles tendon while scoring a touchdown against the Arizona Cardinals.
It wound up taking the Texas City native more than a year to play in a game again as he returned against the Philadelphia Eagles and caught a touchdown pass while also rushing for minus-one yards on seven carries.
The long recovery was frustrating for the Texans and Foreman and prevented him from making an impact this season.
Texans coach Bill O'Brien expressed confidence that the former University of Texas consensus All-American still has a bright future heading into his third NFL season.
