NFL Looks Into Davis Injury Situation With Browns

BEREA, Ohio (AP) - The NFL is investigating Cleveland Browns
rookie running back James Davis’ season-ending shoulder injury.
    On Sunday, ESPN.com reported that the former Clemson running back
was injured during a post-practice “opportunity period” when he was hit by a Browns
linebacker. According to the report, witnesses said Davis was not
wearing shoulder pads while the linebacker who hit him had them on.
    League spokesman Greg Aiello said the league is aware of the
alleged incident and has been looking into the matter.
    “The review is ongoing,“ Aiello said in an e-mail response to
The Associated Press.
    The Browns have had little to say about Davis’ injury. He was
hurt in the opener against Minnesota and was placed on injured
reserve on Oct. 3.
    Davis reportedly will undergo surgery this week.
