Bears running back D’Onta Foreman greets fans Thursday.

D’Onta Foreman spent all Thursday thinking about the Panthers, and how they let him sign elsewhere despite rushing for 914 yards in place of Christian McCaffrey last year.

“It was kinda hot, really, all day,” he said. “When the game came, I had to calm down and understand it was just another game, and go out there and play my game and not try to do too much, and stay in the moment.”

Despite twisting his ankle in the first half — he needed new cleats to make the pain feel better — Foreman finished with 21 carries for 80 yards and the Bears’ only touchdown, a four-yarder, in their 16-13.
