D'Onta Foreman out of hospital, with Browns after hard hit in practice

Cleveland Browns running back D'Onta Foreman 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 teams 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 center 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.
