Browns’ Davis injured in one-car accident

CLEVELAND — Browns rookie running back James Davis sustained an unspecified head injury in a minor one-car accident and was briefly hospitalized Saturday.

Davis, a sixth-round draft pick and Cleveland’s leading rusher during the exhibition season, is questionable — a 50 percent chance of playing — for Sunday’s season opener against the Minnesota Vikings.

The Browns said that Davis got into the accident at 8 a.m. as he was driving to the team’s training facility in Berea, Ohio. He was held for observation at a hospital and then released.

Davis averaged 7.8 yards on 24 carries in four preseason games. He had an 81-yard touchdown run in a win over Detroit.
