The Browns have since put out a statement explaining that the RB suffered a direct blow to the head that caused severe neck pain. The team’s staff took immediate action to immobilize Foreman, who was taken to an ambulance before being flown to a medical center in Roanoke, Virginia.
The ambulance carrying D’Onta Foreman pulled away from the practice fields but is still in the parking lot. A helicopter is landing now to take Foreman to the hospital.

On a brighter note, the player had movement in all his extremities.
The Browns have promised to provide updates.
D’Onta Foreman Joined The Browns Earlier This Year
The Browns added Foreman in March, adding depth to an already impressive running back room.
The player is heading into his eighth season in the league, having been a third-round pick out of Texas by the Houston Texans.
He made 52 appearances, with 21 of them starts, in stints for the Texans, Tennessee Titans, Carolina Panthers, and Chicago Bears. He has rushed for 2,326 yards and 14 touchdowns over his seven seasons, adding 34 catches for 342 yards and three TDs.
He rushed for 425 yards and four scores in nine games last term.
The player remains in our thoughts amid this worrying ordeal. We are hoping for the best and wish him a speedy recovery.
