Smith was expected to undergo testing after missing the previous two practices due to multiple injuries. The Seahawks won’t rush him back, but he isn’t expected to miss an extended period of time.

D’Onta Foreman (neck) back with Browns’ Friday, not practicing
D’Onta Foreman is officially back with the Browns on Friday.
Fantasy Impact
Foreman isn’t practicing, but it’s a good sign he is with the team to begin with. Cleveland won’t rush him back following the scary incident during Thursday’s practice where he had to be taken off the field and to the hospital. Foreman is expected to open the season in a short-yardage role when healthy.
