ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. -- Browns coach Eric Mangini has spoken with NFL officials about concerns over how rookie running back James Davis sustained a season-ending shoulder injury, and whether it happened during a post-practice session.
"We talked to the league about it. Addressed it," Mangini said, following a 6-3 win over Buffalo on Sunday. "We feel very comfortable with being where we're at."
Mangini was responding to a question about an ESPN report citing two unnamed witnesses claiming Davis was not wearing pads after practice when he was struck by an unnamed Browns linebacker, who was wearing pads.
Davis was hurt in the Browns' season opener against Minnesota and eventually placed on injured reserve on Oct. 3.
Last month, the NFL Players Association confirmed it filed a formal grievance over Mangini fining a player $1,701 for not paying a hotel for a $3 bottle of water. At the time, Mangini said:
"Grievances are common. People grieve with every single team. It's not unique at all. I guess what would be more surprising is if 90 percent of fines aren't grieved. That's not just with us. That's any team."
