WHITE SULPHUR SPRINGS, W.Va. -- Cleveland Browns running back D'Onta Foreman left practice in an ambulance Thursday morning after he "sustained a direct blow to the head that resulted in neck pain," the team said in a statement.
The injury occurred toward the end of punt period. Trainers placed Foreman, 28, on a backboard, and he was carted off the field and subsequently put into an ambulance.
The Browns said Foreman has movement in all extremities and is being transported via helicopter to a medical center in Roanoke, Virginia, for further evaluation.
The Browns have been practicing at The Greenbrier resort in West Virginia since last Thursday. The team took a knee and said a prayer for Foreman at the conclusion of practice.
Foreman, a third-round pick of the Houston Texans in the 2017 draft, signed a one-year deal with the Browns in March.
Last season, he rushed for 425 yards and scored five touchdowns (four rushing) for the Chicago Bears. He has rushed for 2,326 yards and has 17 touchdowns (14 rushing) over six seasons.
