William Green's fiancee pleaded innocent today to charges she stabbed him at their home.

Green, a Cleveland Browns running back, was wounded under his left shoulder blade during a fight Wednesday, police said.

"She was in another room when it happened and she called for help," said her attorney, Henry Hilow. "It's also important to note that she took him to the hospital."

Asia Gray, who has two children with Green, was ordered held on $18,500 bond.

Just three weeks ago, Green appeared in the same courtroom after he was arrested on charges of drunken driving and marijuana possession. He is under suspension for violating the NFL's substance-abuse program.

Earlier Wednesday, Gray made an emergency call to police saying Green cut himself. Green later told police he was injured when he fell down stairs.

"It's sad that he was involved in a situation like that," Browns coach Butch Davis said. "Certainly his teammates and coaches are glad it was not more severe."

A teammate stepped on his right ankle in a walkthrough. Vick, out since fracturing his right leg in a preseason game Aug. 16, was unable to participate in team drills during the two-hour afternoon practice.

According to orthopedist Andrew Bishop and trainer Ron Medlin, Vick did not sustain further damage to his right foot. They added that Vick rolled his ankle after taking a snap and trying to step to his right.

"He looked pretty good. We'll put him in pads tomorrow and see where he is," Arizona Cardinals coach Dave McGinnis said.

Smith remains listed as doubtful for Sunday's game against St. Louis.
