A scary scene unfolded Monday at Cleveland's practice.
Browns defensive end Chad Thomas was carted off the field with a neck injury after being immobilized on a stretcher out of caution.
According to reports, Thomas was taken to a local hospital for further evaluation but had feeling and movement in all his extremities.

NFL Media reported later Monday that Thomas had returned to the team's facility and is considered day-to-day with a neck sprain.
Browns wide receiver Jarvis Landry told reporters he was just happy his teammate was all right.

Cleveland selected Thomas, 23, out of Miami in the third round of the 2018 draft. He played in four games as a rookie and made one tackle in the Browns' preseason opener against the Redskins last week.
