BUFFALO Justin Layne Jersey , N.Y. (AP) — ‘ plans confirms to The Associated Press that running back Chris Ivory has been informed he will be released by the team.The person spoke on the condition of anonymity Tuesday because the Bills have not announced their plans. ESPN.com first reported the news.Ivory had one year left on his contract and was scheduled to make a base salary of $1.5 million.The 31-year-old Ivory becomes the odd-man out after Buffalo signed veteran running back Frank Gore two weeks ago to work behind starter LeSean McCoy.Ivory had 385 yards rushing and a touchdown and added 205 yards receiving in 13 games during his first season with Buffalo last year.He’s a ninth-year player who has been relegated to mostly a backup role since having a career-high 1,070 yards and seven touchdowns with the New York Jets in 2015. The Texans could have used D'Onta Foreman last season. They plan to use him a lot this season.Foreman spent 2018 rehabbing from an Achilles’ tear, playing only one game and getting only nine touches. He’s healthy now, so the Texans expect to get the best version of Foreman.“He’s light-years ahead of where he was last year at this time http://www.steelersfootballauthentics.com/benny-snell-jr.-jersey-authentic , coming off the injury and everything,” Texans running backs coach Danny Barrett said last month, via Aaron Wilson of the . “I still think he’s continuing to work hard.

The Texans didn’t address the position in the offseason and lost Alfred Blue to Jacksonville.So the Texans need Foreman to stay healthy to back up Miller.“You have an experienced back and you have a young back,” Barrett said. “They can feed off of each other. I just think D’Onta — again, being the younger back http://www.seahawksfootballauthentics.com/marquise-blair-jersey-authentic , having a year off has kind of helped his body but also given him a hunger to get back out there. “So I think they’ll complement each other well. We don’t have to change up what we’re doing. They both can catch out of the backfield as well.”
