I'd pack some stainless steel wool around it before doing the expanding foam. This will prevent rodents from chewing through it, which they can do to the foam.

They make rodent-blocking foam but I trust the steel wool more

Weighing in to emphasize the importance of packing it with steel wool before using fireblock. It’s a game changer.

We had a hole like that that mice kept coming through and steel wool + foam ended that problem.
