WHITE SULPHUR SPRINGS, W.Va. — Cleveland Browns running back D'Onta Foreman has returned to the team one day after being flown to a hospital with a head injury sustained in practice.
Foreman had been taken to a hospital in Roanoke, Virginia, on Thursday by helicopter. The 28-year-old got hurt during a special team's drill as the Browns continued their opening week of practice at The Greenbrier Resort.
A team spokesman said Foreman was released from the hospital. He will travel with the Browns back to Ohio on Friday.
Foreman never lost feeling in his extremities after taking a direct blow to the head. He was wearing a padded, protective Guardian Cap over his helmet. The Browns' medical staff immobilized Foreman on the field as a precaution before he was flown to the medical centre 80 miles away.
“Scary, thank God he's OK,” Browns coach Kevin Stefanski said Friday.
The Browns signed Foreman as a free agent in March to give them some depth as star Nick Chubb works his way back from a season-ending knee injury.
Foreman has also played for Houston, Tennessee, Carolina and Chicago. He's rushed for 2,326 yards and 14 career touchdowns.
