No guarantee D'Onta Foreman plays in 2018
RB confident he will return

| In order to be on the active roster and play again this season - and that's something D'Onta Foreman said he's "confident" will happen - Bill O'Brien needs to see he is in good enough shape to play. O'Brien pointed out that before Wednesday, Foreman had not "done anything on a football field" or faced contact since he tore his Achilles nearly a year ago.
"We would have to really look at what he's able to do relative to what he did last year - running the ball on first and second down, some of the different things he did in the passing game. He had a good year last year. That was a long time ago, so let's just ... see where he's at," O'Brien said. (ESPN - Sarah Barshop)
FFToday's Take: The Texans activated him from the PUP list Tuesday, opening up a 21-day window before they must decide whether to add him to the active roster or place him on IR for the rest of the season. It sounds as if he has a lot of work to do to be ready to play in a game by then, meaning it will be difficult for him to contribute in any kind of meaningful way before Week 14. If he proves his health, it is possible he could share work with Lamar Miller near the end of the regular season.
