AT TEXAS SPORTS NATION: Everything you need to know from Monday's practice in Green Bay

One day after the Texans cut the former University of Texas All-American, the Texas City native was claimed off waivers by the Indianapolis Colts, according to a league source not authorized to speak publicly.

Foreman rushed for 327 yards as a rookie, but the third-round pick tore his Achilles.

He got in good shape after a sluggish second NFL season last year, but punctuality and other issues ultimately cost him his roster spot with his hometown team.

"I'm good," Foreman said on Sunday after being released by the Texans.

Foreman's Houston-based agent, Kennard McGuire, also took the high road.

"Grateful and thankful to the Texans for providing D'Onta with an opportunity and giving him an opportunity so early to see what else is out there," McGuire said. "Kudos to them. We all get to points in life where a fresh start makes a world of difference. I believe that D'Onta has all the skills and ability to be a special player in the NFL and I firmly support him and know that's going to happen.

"He put in work. He went into the maturation process and grew and will continue to grow. He's ready for the next challenge."
