The Cleveland Browns have provided details following a frightening injury to running back D’Onta Foreman, which required him to be airlifted from practice on Thursday.

Foreman took a blow to the head during a punting drill that left him with severe neck pain, and he was carted off the field before being taken to an ambulance. It would appear that the injury was too serious for him to be driven, so he was flown to a medical center in Roanoke, Virginia, via helicopter.

Fortunately, the RB was able to move normally after the blow.
