Myles Garrett Injury News & Updates

Garrett recorded five total tackles (all solo), including 4.0 sacks, in Sunday's 23-16 loss to the Ravens.

After going without a sack from Week 4 through Week 6, Garrett has erupted for 11.0 sacks over the Browns' last four games. The 29-year-old surpassed Brian Burns and now leads the NFL with 15.0 sacks through 10 appearances this season, needing just 1.5 more in Cleveland's final seven games to set a new personal best. Expect Garrett to continue wreaking havoc on opposing quarterbacks in the Week 12 matchup against the Raiders.

Garrett tallied three tackles (two solo), including 1.0 sacks, in Sunday's loss to the Jets.

One week after setting a Browns franchise record with 5.0 sacks against New England, Garrett got back in the sack column Sunday when he took down Justin Fields for an eight-yard loss in the second quarter. Garrett has already reached the double-digit sack mark for the eighth straight season with 11.0 sacks through nine games. He's once again among the leading contenders for Defensive Player of the Year honors.

Garrett had six tackles, 5.0 sacks and a forced fumble in Sunday's 32-13 loss to New England in Week 8.

Garrett was a wrecking ball for the Browns' defense and notched three of his sacks in the red zone. The 5.0 sacks were a new career-best for the edge rusher and set a franchise record for most sacks in one game. Garrett already has double-digit sacks (10.0) through eight contests and is threatening his season-best mark of 16.0.

Garrett had two tackles, including two for a loss, two quarterback hits and 1.0 sacks in Sunday's 31-6 win over Miami in Week 7.

Garrett halted a three-game stretch without a sack when he hauled down Tua Tagovailoa in the third quarter. The takedown raises Garrett's sack total to 5.0 through seven contests.

Garrett logged two tackles in Cleveland's loss versus the Steelers on Sunday.

Garrett got off to a hot start this season but has struggled as of late, as he hasn't recorded a sack since the team's Week 3 win over the Packers. The 29-year-old will look to have a bounce back performance Week 7 versus the Dolphins.

Garrett (ankle) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Steelers, Zac Jackson of The Athletic reports.

Garrett's good to go after a full practice Friday following limited sessions Wednesday and Thursday. The star pass rusher has 4.0 sacks this season, though he comes into Sunday's game against Steelers mired in a two-game drought in that category.

Garrett (ankle) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.

Garrett managed an ankle injury leading up to Week 5 against the Vikings. He was cleared to play in that game and finished with three solo tackles while playing a season-high 57 snaps on defense. Garrett has opened the week with a limited practice Wednesday, but the 2023 DPOY will likely be given the green light to play against the Steelers on Sunday unless he suffers a setback.

Garrett tallied three solo tackles during the Browns' 21-17 loss to the Vikings on Sunday in London, England.

Garrett was cleared to play after working through an ankle injury during the week leading up to Sunday's contest. He played a season-high 57 defensive snaps but wasn't able to log a sack for a second consecutive game. Garrett sits at 4.0 sacks through the first five games of the regular season, which leads the Browns and is tied for ninth most in the NFL.

Garrett (ankle) has no injury designation ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Vikings, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.

Although the All-Pro edge rusher logged a DNP at Wednesday's practice, he's now in line to play in Sunday's contest. Garrett has tallied 18 total tackles, including 4.0 sacks, through the Browns' first four games this season. Now healthy, he's expected to wreak havoc on Carson Wentz and the Vikings' offensive line in Week 5.

Garrett (ankle) did not practice Wednesday, Chris Easterling of the Akron Beacon Journal reports.

Garrett has been labeled as day-to-day by coach Kevin Stefanski, Ashley Bastock of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports, and the veteran edge rusher isn't someone who needs to practice during the week in order to play on Sunday.

Head coach Kevin Stefanski told reporters that Garrett (ankle) won't practice Wednesday and is considered day-to-day, Ashley Bastock of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

The 29-year-old appears to have sustained an ankle injury in the Browns' Week 4 loss to the Lions, despite playing 48 defensive snaps and logging two total tackles. Garrett's practice participation Thursday and Friday will likely provide the best indication of whether he can suit for the Week 5 matchup against Minnesota. He likely needs to practice in a limited fashion at least once to play in Sunday's contest.

Garrett registered two tackles, including one for a loss, against Detroit in Sunday's loss.

Garrett wasn't able to add to his sack total, but he did notch two QB hits. It was the first game this season that Garrett wasn't able to record at least a half-sack. He has 4.0 total sacks through four weeks.

Garrett logged six tackles (two solo), including 0.5 sacks, during the Browns' 13-10 win over the Packers on Sunday.

Garrett wreaked havoc on the Packers' offensive line, and he combined with Adin Huntington on an eight-yard sack on Jordan Love late in the second quarter, which led to Green Bay punting on the next play. Garrett is up to 4.0 sacks through three games this season, which is tied with Byron Young and Brian Burns for second most in the NFL behind Rashan Gary (4.5).

Garrett recorded five tackles, including 1.5 sacks, in Sunday's 41-17 loss to the Ravens.

Garrett upped his sack total to 3.5 through two games. With the help of Garrett and despite an 0-2 start, Cleveland's defense has performed admirably thus far, allowing an average of 191.5 yards per game.

Garrett had five tackles, including 2.0 sacks, four tackles for a loss and three quarterback hits in Sunday's 17-16 loss to Cincinnati in Week 1.

Garrett overcame a minor hip injury that forced him to a miss a practice during the week of preparation for the season opener. The edge rusher is well on his way to an eighth consecutive double-digit sack season.

Garrett (hip) doesn't carry an injury designation into Sunday's Week 1 game against the Bengals, Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN.com reports.

Garrett missed practice Thursday but will be all systems go for Sunday's Week 1 opener against the division-rival Bengals. The four-time first-team All-Pro has double-digit sacks in seven straight seasons after logging 47 tackles (40 solo), including 14.0 sacks, and three forced fumbles across 17 regular-season starts in 2024.

Garrett (hip) didn't practice Thursday, Mary Kay Cabot of the Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

Garrett's practice participation level Friday will bear monitoring, as will his status on the team's official Week 1 injury report, which will likely tag the star defensive end with an injury designation. If Garrett's unavailable or limited Sunday against the Bengals, Cleveland will have an even tougher time slowing down Joe Burrow and Cincinnati's high-octane offense.

Garrett and the Browns agreed Sunday on a contract extension that averages $40 million per year and includes $123.5 million in guaranteed salary, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Garrett officially requested a trade in early February, but Cleveland consistently stated that it was unwilling to entertain the request. The two sides have now agreed upon a massive deal that will make Garrett the highest-paid non-quarterback in NFL history. Per Schefter, the agreement includes a no-trade clause and will keep Garrett in Cleveland through the 2030 season. Garrett was selected by the Browns in the first round of the 2017 draft and has built a potential Hall of Fame career since then, becoming the first player in franchise history to win a Defensive Player of the Year award (in 2023) and racking up double-digit sacks in each of the past seven regular seasons.

The Browns remain unwilling to trade Garrett, with team owner Jimmy Haslam declining to speak to the pass rusher after his recent trade request, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

The report adds that Garrett is "preparing to miss games" if he isn't traded, which isn't surprising given that the team won't even consider his trade request. Haslam's refusal to speak with Garrett, if accurate, only figures to make matters worse. This situation could get ugly, as Garrett's trade request seemingly is a product of frustration with the team/organization, not just an effort to get an extension or raise. He turned 29 in December and has two seasons remaining on a five-year, $125 million contract.

Browns general manager Andrew Berry said Tuesday at the 2025 NFL Scouting Combine that the team will not consider moving on from Garrett, who officially requested a trade early February, Zac Jackson of The Athletic reports.

"We respect and appreciate [Garrett]," Berry said, but clarified that "we're not interested in moving him." The Browns remain steadfast about wanting to retain Garrett, with Berry having said in January that even an offer of two first-round picks in exchange for the standout defensive end wouldn't convince the team to budge. Still, Garrett said in his trade request that his top priority is to compete for a Super Bowl immediately, and Cleveland seems, by contrast, to be heading toward a rebuild. If both sides refuse to budge as the offseason progresses, it's possible Garrett's hand is forced and he considers a holdout.

Garrett officially announced Monday his request to be traded by the Browns, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Garrett, the reigning NFL defensive player of the year, said in his announcement: "The goal was never to go from Cleveland to Canton, it has always been to compete for and win a Super Bowl." The 29-year-old's trade request comes with the context of the Browns seemingly entering a rebuilding phase, with Deshaun Watson (Achilles) uncertain for the 2025 season, and Cleveland in the mix to potentially reset at the quarterback position, holding the No. 2 overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft. General manager Andrew Berry stated late January that Garrett isn't on the trade block, specifying that even an offer of two first-round picks wouldn't move the needle, per Mary Kay Cabot of Cleveland.com, but the defensive end's superstar status gives him substantial leverage. He has two years remaining on his current deal, with both seasons carrying roughly a $20 million cap hit.

Garrett recorded two tackles, including one for a loss, in Week 18's loss to the Ravens.

Garrett finished the regular season with 47 tackles, including 14.0 sacks, over 17 games played. He also set an NFL record, becoming the first player to achieve at least 14.0 sacks in four consecutive seasons. With two years left on his contract, Garrett is slated to return to Cleveland in 2025; however, the defensive end sent a message to the organization in December that he doesn't want to endure another rebuild. He wants to win now and needs to hear the team's plans to come back from its 3-14 season, or else Garrett could request a trade.

Garrett (thigh) does not carry an injury designation into Saturday's game against the Ravens, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

Garrett was a DNP in the first two sessions of the week due to a thigh issue, but his limited participation in Thursday's practice was enough for him to shed an injury tag heading into Saturday's regular-season finale. The All-Pro defensive end is coming off a two-sack performance against the Dolphins this past Sunday, which brought him up to 14.0 sacks on the season.

Garrett (thigh) did not participate at practice Wednesday, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

Garrett was a surprise addition to the Browns' injury report Tuesday with a thigh issue, and he still wasn't healthy enough for football activities Wednesday. He'll have one more opportunity to practice Thursday before Saturday's game at Baltimore.

Garrett didn't practice Tuesday due to a thigh issue, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

It's not clear when Garrett suffered the injury, as he logged his usual hefty workload on defense Sunday against Miami and picked up 2.0 sacks. The extent to which the star pass rusher is able to practice Wednesday and Thursday should shed clarity on whether he'll be able to play Saturday versus Baltimore. If Garrett can't suit up against the Ravens, it would be a huge blow to the Browns' defense, as the veteran defensive end is tied for the NFL lead with 14.0 sacks on the season.

Garrett recorded four tackles, three for a loss, and 2.0 sacks in Sunday's 20-3 loss to the Dolphins in Week 17.

The sacks increased Garrett's season total to 14.0, which made him the first player in NFL history to achieve at least 14.0 sacks in four consecutive seasons.

Garrett sent a message to the Cleveland organization Friday that he does not want to endure another rebuild, Jason Lloyd of The Athletic reports. "I'm not trying to rebuild. I'm trying to win right now," Garrett said. "I want that to be apparent when the season's over and we have those discussions."

Garrett is under team control for two seasons beyond the current one and has already been through one rebuild, which included his rookie season in 2017 when the Browns went 0-16. The star defensive lineman added that he wants to stay loyal to a team that has stuck by him, but Garrett, who turns 29 next weekend, is very much in "win now" mode. He cited the club's plans at quarterback as a major issue. After a failed gamble on Deshaun Watson, the uncertain status of running back Nick Chubb (foot), and a 3-11 record during a season that was supposed to include the postseason, the organization is need of a major roster makeover.

Garrett (back) has no injury designation ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Bengals, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.

Garrett popped up on the Browns' injury report Thursday as a non-participant in practice due to a back issue. However, he returned to full practice Friday, appearing to have moved past the injury in time to play in Sunday's divisional matchup. Expect Garrett to cause problems for the Bengals' offensive line in Week 16.

Garrett (back) did not participate in Thursday's practice, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

The back injury appears to be a new one for Garrett, as he wasn't listed on Wednesday's injury report. The veteran pass rusher has worked through various injuries all season, and his practice participation Friday will indicate his status heading into Sunday's AFC North clash against the Bengals. Garrett has logged 4.0 sacks over the Browns' last five games since the Week 10 bye.

Garrett finished with three tackles (two solo), including 1.0 sacks, and a fumble recovery in Sunday's 27-14 loss to the Steelers.

The five-time All-Pro now has 11.0 sacks on the year, his seventh straight campaign with double-digit sacks. Garrett has 35 total tackles (29 solo) and three forced fumbles in 2024 as well.

Garrett recorded five tackles, 3.0 sacks and a forced fumble in Thursday's 24-19 win over Pittsburgh in Week 12.

Garrett was a disruptive force against Cleveland's arch-rival, increasing his 2024 sack total to 10.0, the seventh consecutive season with double-digit sacks. His strip-sack of Russell Wilson late in the second quarter led to a field goal, giving the Browns a 10-3 lead heading into halftime. It was his third forced fumble of the season.

Garrett (hip) does not carry an injury designation ahead of Thursday's game versus the Steelers, Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN.com reports.

Garrett was limited at practice Wednesday after missing Tuesday's session entirely with a hip injury, but he's on track to play in Week 12 anyways. He's currently on pace for his seventh consecutive season with double-digit sacks, and Pittsburgh's offensive line has shown some vulnerability in pass protection this year.

Garrett (hip) did not practice Tuesday.

Garrett, however, spoke with the media before practice and suggested he's going to play Thursday night against the Steelers, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports. Garrett has been battling various injuries all season. Through 10 games, Garrett has 23 tackles (21 solo), including 7.0 sacks, 15 QB hits and a pair of forced fumbles.

Garrett had five tackles, 3.0 sacks and five quarterback hits in Sunday's 27-10 loss to the Chargers in Week 9.

Garrett and his mates in the front seven rung up six sacks on the day, but the secondary let them down with blown coverages that led to two long touchdown throws from Justin Hebert. The three sacks were the first for Garrett since Week 4 and gave him 7.0 for the season.

Garrett (Achilles) has no injury designation ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Eagles, Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN.com reports.

Garrett upgraded from a DNP on Wednesday to a full practice Friday, indicating that he will continue playing through his Achilles injury in Week 6. The 2023 Defensive Player of the Year has recorded nine total tackles, including 4.0 sacks, and forced two fumbles through the Browns' first five games this season. He's expected to cause problems for the Eagles' offensive line Sunday.

Garrett (Achilles) didn't participate in Wednesday's practice, Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN.com reports.

The 28-year-old defensive end has been playing through this Achilles issue for the last two weeks, so holding him out of Wednesday's practice is most likely precautionary. Garrett's participation Thursday and Friday will provide the best indication on whether the 2023 Defensive Player of the Year can continue playing through his Achilles injury in the Browns' Week 6 matchup against the Eagles.

Garrett (Achilles) doesn't carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Commanders and is expected to play, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

Garrett was listed as DNP on Wednesday but got in a limited session Thursday before being upgraded to full Friday. Garrett has been playing through foot-related issues all year to this point but has eight QB hits, 4.0 sacks and a pair of forced fumbles through four contests.

Garrett (Achilles) was a limited participant during practice Thursday, Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN.com reports.

Garrett has been playing through an Achilles injury, which has kept his practice time limited and his status in question for the last couple of weeks. However, barring any setbacks the All-Pro pass rusher should be expected to suit up Sunday against the Commanders.

Garrett (Achilles) isn't expected to practice Wednesday, Chris Easterling of the Akron Beacon Journal reports.

Garrett has been playing through this Achilles injury over the Browns' last three games, so it's no surprise that the All-Pro edge rusher isn't practicing Wednesday. He'll likely need to upgrade to at least limited participation Thursday or Friday in order to suit up for Cleveland's Week 5 matchup against the Commanders.

Garrett recorded two sacks and an additional quarterback hit in a 20-16 loss to Las Vegas in Week 4.

Garrett was bedeviled by several injuries during the practice week but shed an injury designation by the weekend. He was on the field for 44 snaps (75 percent share), which is a similar workload to his first three weeks. The two sacks raised his season total to four.

Garrett (foot/Achilles/thigh) does not carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Raiders, Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN.com reports.

Garrett was able to shed any sort of injury tag after logging a full practice Friday. Despite dealing with multiple leg injuries, the All-Pro defensive end will be on the field Sunday, though he could operate on a snap count. If Garrett's playing time is limited, expect Ogbonnia Okoronkwo and Alex Wright to see additional playing time at defensive end alongside starter Za'Darius Smith.

Garrett (foot/Achilles/thigh) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice session, Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN.com reports.

Garrett sat out of practice Wednesday, but the All-Pro defensive end returned in a limited capacity Thursday. He's been labelled as day-to-day with a trio of leg injuries, but his intent is to play in Week 4 against the Raiders. Garrett could be on a reduced snap count while managing his injuries, which opens the door for Ogbonnia Okoronkwo and Alex Wright (triceps) to see more snaps at defensive end alongside starter Za'Darius Smith.

Coach Kevin Stefanski said Wednesday he "doesn't see" Garrett (foot/Achilles/thigh), who is not practicing, being ruled out for Sunday's road matchup against the Raiders, Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN.com reports.

Garrett is listed as a non-participant Wednesday due to a trio of injuries, Zac Jackson of The Athletic reports. The star edge rusher underwent an MRI earlier this week with results that came back clean, and Stefanski has also labeled him "day-to-day." Garrett concluded Cleveland's 21-15 loss to the Giants with just one tackle while playing a season-low 56 percent of defensive snaps. He'll have two more chances to get back on the practice field ahead of Sunday's game in Las Vegas.

Garrett (foot/ankle) underwent an MRI on Monday that came back clean, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

Garrett's injuries didn't appear to be too serious after head coach Kevin Stefanski labeled his star edge rusher as "day-to-day" earlier Monday, but Garrett's clean MRI confirmed it. Following Monday's MRI, it seems likely that Garrett will continue to play through his injuries as the Browns travel to Las Vegas in Week 4.

Head coach Kevin Stefanski said Monday that Garrett (foot/leg) is day-to-day, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

Garrett underwent an MRI on Monday, according to Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram, and is dealing with multiple leg and foot injuries. However, the Texas A&M product wasn't willing to divulge much about the results. Considering Stefanski was willing to label Garrett as day-to-day, it doesn't seem like anything too serious was discovered though. More clarity on his recovery timeline should come throughout the week, ahead of their matchup against the Raiders on Sunday.

Coach Kevin Stefanski said after Sunday's loss to the Giants that Garrett will undergo an MRI on his foot this upcoming week, Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN.com reports.

Garrett entered Sunday's game with dual foot injuries on both of his feet, and now the Browns will have him get imaging done to determine the severity. Garrett recorded a team-best three QB hits versus New York in Week 3 but finished with just one solo tackle. The 2023 Defensive Player of the Year has 2.0 sacks through three contests.

Garrett told reporters following Friday's practice that his foot injury "is something that I'll probably have to deal with for however long I end up playing. So it's about managing that and playing through it," Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN.com reports.

Garrett has been managing a foot injury he sustained in Week 2 against the Jaguars. While he was a DNP on Wednesday and Thursday, he returned to practice Friday and doesn't have an injury designation ahead of Sunday's game against the Giants. Garrett noted Friday that surgery to fix the issue has been discussed, but that wouldn't occur until the offseason and his plan is to manage the issue and hope the pain subsides in the coming weeks. The 2017 first-round pick has recorded a sack and a forced fumble in each of the first two games of the regular season.

Garrett (foot) doesn't carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Giants and is expected to play, Chris Easterling of the Akron Beacon Journal reports.

Garrett is dealing with some pain in his foot and didn't practice Wednesday or Thursday before getting in a limited session Friday. Garrett said he felt good after Friday's work and is ready to go versus New York. Through two games, Garrett has five tackles (five solo), including 2.0 sacks, and two forced fumbles.

Garrett (foot) didn't practice Wednesday, Chris Easterling of the Akron Beacon Journal reports.

Garrett played through a foot injury during Cleveland's Week 2 contest and told reporters that he doesn't "feel great" after the win, so it's no surprise he's absent from Wednesday's practice. His practice participation Thursday and Friday will provide a better indication of his availability for Week 3, though Garrett will likely play through the injury regardless.

Garrett told reporters after Sunday's 18-13 win over the Jaguars that his foot doesn't "feel great," but he will play through it, Zac Jackson of The Athletic reports.

Garrett popped up on the Browns' injury report Thursday as a DNP, and he was limited during Friday's practice session. He finished Sunday's game with three solo tackles, including 1.0 sacks, and one forced fumble. Garrett will likely be held out or limited during practices leading up to Week 3 against the Giants, but the expectation is that the 2017 first-round pick will play as long as his foot injury doesn't get worse.

Garrett (foot) was limited in practice Friday and does not carry an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Jaguars, Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN.com reports.

Garrett appears to have simply been dealing with foot soreness this week, so his status for Week 2 never appeared to be truly in danger. Za'Darius Smith (back) has also been cleared Friday, so Cleveland's top pass rushers will both be available versus Jacksonville.

Garrett (foot) did not practice Thursday, Chris Easterling of the Akron Beacon Journal reports.

Garrett wasn't listed on Wednesday's injury report, so it appears his foot issue may have been sustained during practice. Mary Kay Cabot of Cleveland.com reports that Garrett's foot injury isn't believed to be serious, and is mostly related to soreness. If the star defensive end can practice in any capacity Friday, it will bode well for his chances of suiting up Sunday against Jacksonville.

Garrett recorded a sack during Cleveland's 33-17 loss to the Cowboys on Sunday.

The 2023 NFL Defensive Player of the Year finished with two tackles in total. Garrett has finished with double-digit sacks in each of the last six regular seasons.

Garrett (hamstring) will practice Sunday, Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN.com reports.

Garrett tweaked his hamstring during minicamp in mid-June and had been sidelined for the early part of training camp. The willingness of the Browns to let him get back on the field suggests that the star defensive end is fully recovered from the injury. The reigning Defensive Player of the Year will be looking to post his seventh straight season with double-digit sacks in 2024.

Garrett (hamstring) is "very close" to practicing, head coach Kevin Stefanski stated Thursday, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.

Garret still may not be 100 percent recovered from the injury to his hamstring suffered during minicamp in June. It was reported Friday that he would be returning shortly as well, but it makes sense for the Browns to be cautious with their star pass rusher and the reigning Defensive Player of the Year.

Garrett (hamstring) was present but not participating in Monday's full-pads practice, Kelsey Russo of the Browns' official site reports.

Garrett sustained a hamstring injury during Cleveland's minicamp earlier this offseason, and he has yet to return to the field. The Browns have been extremely cautious with the reigning Defensive Player of the Year, but he's still expected to return to practice sooner rather than later.

Garrett (hamstring) was present but not participating in Monday's full-pads practice, Kelsey Russo of the Browns' official site reports.

Garrett sustained a hamstring injury during Cleveland's minicamp earlier this offseason, and he has yet to return to the field. The Browns have been extremely cautious with the reigning Defensive Player of the Year, but he's still expected to return to practice sooner rather than later.

Coach Kevin Stefanski said Friday that Garrett (hamstring) will likely be back to participating in full at practice "shortly," Zac Jackson of The Athletic reports.

Garrett tweaked his hamstring during a minicamp drill back in June, and he's still limited at practice as he works on recovering. Cleveland has every incentive not to rush the reigning defensive player of the year back onto the practice field until he's absolutely ready.

Coach Kevin Stefanski said Thursday that Garrett (hamstring) "will be fine" after tweaking something during a minicamp drill, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

Garrett's injury appears minor and shouldn't impede his readiness for the start of training camp late July, but due to the nature of soft tissue injuries, the situation should nonetheless be monitored. While he was helped off the field on a cart, Cabot reports that Garrett could have walked off under his own strength. The reigning Defensive Player of the Year, Garrett has posted six straight seasons with double-digit sacks, and health permitting, a seventh should be right around the corner.

Garrett was named Defensive Player of the Year on Thursday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Garrett played a key role in the stout Browns defense, racking up 14 sacks and four forced fumbles across 16 games. He's been remarkably consistent across the last several seasons and has posted double-digit sacks in all but one of his seven campaigns. Garrett will be locked in as a key player on the defensive side of the ball in Cleveland once again in 2024.

Garrett (shoulder) no longer has an injury designation for Saturday's game against the Texans, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.

Garrett has yet to miss a game this season and that won't change with the Browns set to play in the wild-card round Saturday. The 28-year-old started the week as a DNP on Tuesday, but after logging a limited practice Wednesday, he ramped up to full participation Thursday.

Garrett (shoulder) was a limited participant at practice Wednesday, Jake Trotter of ESPN.com reports.

Garrett eased some concerns by appearing at practice Wednesday after he missed the Browns' first practice of the week Tuesday. If he can upgrade to full participation Thursday, he'll likely avoid carrying an injury designation into Friday.

Garrett (shoulder/hamstring) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Bengals, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.

Garrett was held out of Friday's practice due to a sore hamstring and he'll miss his first game of the year in Week 18. The current Defensive Player of the Year favorite finishes Cleveland's regular season with 42 total tackles, including 17 tackles for loss and 14.0 sacks, while forcing four fumbles and deflecting three passes. Ogbonnia Okoronkwo should see increased snaps on the Browns' defensive line in Garrett's stead.

Garrett (shoulder) does not carry an injury designation into Sunday's game at the Rams, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.

Garrett was held out of practice Wednesday and Thursday due to concerns about his shoulder, but he'll ultimately be available in Week 13. He'll look to add to his impressive sack tally (13.0) against Matthew Stafford on Sunday.

Garrett (shoulder) missed practice for the second day in a row Thursday but worked out his shoulder on the sideline and still expects to play Sunday, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.

Garrett said he felt something pop during the Browns' loss to the Broncos on Sunday and was day-to-day to begin the week, per Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer. The four-time All-Pro has 32 tackles, including 13 sacks, four forced fumbles, three passes defensed and a fumble recovery in 2023.

Garrett (shoulder) will not participate at practice Wednesday, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.

Coach Kevin Stefanski said Garrett was day-to-day early in the week, per Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer, but he's not active for the day of the Browns' first practice of the new week. If he can't get back on the practice field Thursday or Friday, he probably won't suit up in Week 13 at the Rams.

Coach Kevin Stefanski said Monday that Garrett's shoulder is "sore" and that he is day-to-day, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

It's a very encouraging development for Garrett, who said he felt something pop in his left shoulder during Sunday's loss at Denver, per Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer. The precise severity of his injury is still unknown at this point, but it seems like there's at least a chance he could suit up in Week 13 at the Rams.

Garrett said after Sunday's 29-12 loss to Denver that he felt something pop in his left shoulder during the game, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports. Garrett's arm was in a sling after the game, and he intends to get scans to determine the severity of the injury, per Jake Trotter of ESPN.com.

Garrett tried to play through the injury after getting hurt against the Broncos, but he was struggling to move the arm and finished the game with just two solo tackles (one tackle for loss) and one pass defensed. Considering Garrett has 13.0 sacks through 11 games and is among the leading candidates to win Defensive Player of the Year, it would be a major blow to Cleveland's defense if he's forced to miss any additional time as a result of this injury. The Browns will face the Rams in Week 13.

Garrett recorded two sacks in Sunday's Week 11 win over the Steelers.

Garrett heads into Thanksgiving with a league-high 13 sacks and looks like the front-runner for Defensive Player of the Year honors. He's three sacks off his career-high of 16, set last season. Garrett has also recorded 30 tackles (22 solo), 11 TFLs, 23 QB hits, four forced fumbles, one fumble recovery and two pass breakups.

Garrett recorded three tackles (one solo), with 1.5 sacks, during Sunday's 33-31 win against the Ravens.

Garrett's dominant season continues, and the 2017 first-round pick now has logged at least one sack in all but two games this season. Garrett is currently tied for the most sacks in the league with 11 and is on pace to surpass his career high of 16.

Garrett tallied two tackles (two solo), including a sack, and a forced fumble in Sunday's 24-20 loss to the Seahawks.

Garrett had another productive outing despite the loss and has now logged at least one sack in all but two games this season. The 2017 first-round pick already has 8.5 sacks less than halfway through the campaign and is currently on pace to set a new career high with 20.5.

Garrett recorded nine tackles (seven solo) including two sacks, two forced fumbles and a blocked kick in Sunday's 39-38 win at the Colts.

Garrett was the author of one of the most dominant individual performances in recent memory in Week 7 and was instrumental in Cleveland picking up its fourth win of the season. If two strip sacks, one of which was recovered in the end zone for a touchdown, weren't enough, Garrett jumped over the offensive line early in the second quarter to block a field-goal attempt that would have given Indianapolis the lead. His next chance to add to his ridiculous season will come Sunday at the Seahawks.

Garrett (foot) is cleared to play in Sunday's game against the 49ers, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.

Garrett injured his left foot during the Browns Week 4 game against the Ravens and was subsequently seen wearing a walking boot exiting the stadium, per Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer. He came out of the bye week with a DNP at practice, but then trended in the right direction with a limited session followed by full participation Friday. It remains to be seen if the Browns will exercise caution with his workload, but barring any setbacks, he is good to go.

Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski said Garrett is dealing with a left foot injury but is expected to be OK following the team's Week 5 bye, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.

Per Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer, Garrett left the stadium sporting a walking boot on his left foot after getting injured midway through the third quarter of Sunday's 28-3 loss to the Ravens. The star defensive end limped off the field and was checked out in the medical tent on the sideline, but he was ultimately able to return for the Ravens' next drive later in the quarter. Garrett, who finished with two tackles and increased his season total to 5.5 sacks in the loss, will now have ample time to heal up before the Browns return to action Oct. 15 versus the 49ers in Week 6.

Garrett suffered a lower leg injury during Cleveland's 28-3 loss to Baltimore on Sunday.

Garett was spotted wearing a walking boot following the loss during which he registered a single sack. So far through four games this season the former first overall pick has logged nine tackles (eight solo) including 5.5 sacks and if forced to miss time, Ogbonnia Okoronkwo will start in Garrett's place.

Garrett recorded five tackles (four solo), 3.5 sacks and a forced fumble in Sunday's 27-3 win versus the Titans.

Garrett took advantage of a shaky Tennessee offensive line and wrecked their gameplan from the word 'go' in Week 3, somehow making an even bigger impact on the game than his stats would indicate. He's on pace for a career year in the sack column even by his absurd standards, making him a top IDP option at defensive line and arguably an early frontrunner for defensive player of the year.

Garrett recorded two tackles and a sack in Sunday's 24-3 win versus the Bengals.

Garrett ran straight through the right tackle and a chip from the running back en route to sacking Joe Burrow, one of two such times Cincinnati's signal-caller was taken down behind the line of scrimmage in Week 1. He's on pace for his sixth consecutive double-digit sack season ahead of Week 2 at Pittsburgh.

Garrett (foot) was absent from the Browns' injury report Wednesday ahead of Sunday's game versus the Bengals.

As expected, Garrett will start in Week 1 when Cleveland hosts Joe Burrow and Cincinnati. The four-time Pro Bowler is seeking his sixth double-digit-sack season in a row and remains a great option in IDP leagues.

Garrett (foot) agreed to restructure his contract Monday, Chris Easterling of the Akron Beacon Journal reports.

The Browns already have the second-most cap space available headed into the season, so it's unclear why the move was necessary. Garrett is signed through 2026 and has been dealing with a foot issue this summer, though it shouldn't affect his availability for Week 1.

Garrett (foot) only participated in individual drills Wednesday, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.

Garrett was rolled up on during Monday's practice, which forced an early exit for the Texas A&M product. Considering he was able to at least partake in individual drills, it seems likely that Garrett will make a full recovery quickly, and in plenty of time for the team's season opener against the Bengals in just under four weeks.

Garrett has been an active participant at the Browns' minicamp this week, Ashley Bastock of Cleveland.com reports.

Garrett suffered a dislocated toe on his right foot during the Pro Bowl in February, but the injury did not require surgery and he looks ready to go for the 2023 campaign. The defensive end recorded a career-high 60 tackles, including 16 sacks, while deflecting four passes and forcing two fumbles over 16 games with the Browns in 2022.

Garrett will not need surgery on his dislocated toe suffered during Sunday's Pro Bowl, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Garrett should have a quick recovery time and be able to participate in the team's offseason program, as his toe was easily put back into place. The star pass-rusher tied a career-best 16 sacks during his 2022 campaign along with a career-high 60 tackles (37 solo) and four passes defended.

Garrett sustained a dislocated toe while participating in Sunday's Pro Bowl Games, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

Garrett was named to the Pro Bowl for the third year in a row after tying his career high for sacks in 2022 with 16. However, the 27-year-old was seen limping off the field after he dislocated his toe at some point during the NFL's updated Pro Bowl events Sunday, according to Tom Pelissero of NFL Network. This issue should not prove overly severe given that immediate X-rays on Garrett's injured toe did come back negative, per Cabot. Nevertheless, it will still be worth monitoring for potential updates on the defensive end's status heading into the Browns' offseason program this spring.

Garrett made seven tackles, including a sack, two tackles for loss and two quarterback hits in a 28-14 loss to the Steelers in Week 18.

The sack was Garrett's 16th, tying the personal mark for sacks in a single season he set in 2021. He played through injury but only missed one game following his involvement in an automobile accident leading up to Week 4. It was a shoulder injury and lingered a bit, but Garrett remained productive. He's been available for 33 of 34 games the last two years, and, at age 26 next season, Garrett is still in his prime and should continue to be a dominant presence.

Garrett recorded eight tackles (four solo) and 1.5 sacks in Sunday's 24-10 win over the Commanders.

After playing a season-low 36 defensive snaps in Week 16 against the Saints, Garrett ramped up to 52 snaps (75 percent) this past weekend versus Washington and logged the most tackles he's had in a game since Week 4 of his sophomore campaign. The All-Pro defensive end's 53 stops on the year now accounts for a new career high in that department, and if he's able to register one sack in the Browns' regular-season finale versus Pittsburgh, he'd then have back-to-back seasons with 16 sacks.

Garrett did not play the first series of Saturday's 17-10 loss to the Saints because of a "team thing," Chris Easterling of the Akron Beacon Journal reports. "That was just a team thing," Cleveland head coach Kevin Stefanski said during a Monday Zoom call. "That was my decision."

Garrett played 36 of a possible 54 snaps (67 percent) -- a season low in snaps and second-lowest percentage in 14 games played -- and finished with three tackles. The Browns did not elaborate on what team protocol was violated. The star edge rusher was on the field for the Saints' second possession.

Garrett (illness) doesn't have a designation for Saturday's game against the Saints after he returned to practice Thursday as a limited participant, Anthony Poisal of the Browns' official site reports.

Garrett and running back Nick Chubb (foot) both missed the Browns' first two days of practice this week, and even though neither took full reps Thursday, the team saw enough to clear the two standout players heading into the weekend. In the matchup with the Saints, Garrett will be taking aim at what could be battered offensive line. New Orleans placed starting right guard Cesar Ruiz (foot) on injured reserve earlier this week, and starting left guard Andrus Peat (illness) is iffy for Saturday's game after not practicing Thursday.

Garrett (illness) was listed as a non-participant on Tuesday's practice estimate, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.

Although Cleveland didn't host an official practice Tuesday, Garrett wouldn't have suited up for it anyways following his DNP designation on Tuesday's report due to an illness. The former No. 1 overall draft pick will now have until Saturday to overcome his sickness before the Browns host the Saints.

Garrett had six tackles, two sacks, three tackles for a loss and three quarterback hits in Sunday's 23-10 loss to the Bengals.

Garret, who had a half-sack wiped out on a penalty, has sacked Cincinnati quarterback Joe Burrow in every game the signal-caller has played against Cleveland. The edge rusher is up to 12 sacks through 12 games. Garrett, who has recorded multiple sacks five times this season, has four more games to reach his season-high sack total of 16 set last season.

Garrett had three tackles, 1.5 sacks and three quarterback hits in Sunday's 23-17 overtime win over Tampa Bay in Week 12.

Garrett's full sack was a big third-down stop in overtime and preceded the drive that produced Nick Chubb's game-winning touchdown run. The elite edge rusher has recorded sacks in five of the last six games and is up to 10 for the season, the sixth consecutive year with double-digit quarterback takedowns.

Garrett had two tackles, 1.5 sacks, four quarterback hits and one pass defensed in Monday's 32-13 win over Cincinnati in Week 8.

Garrett and the rest of the previously maligned Browns' defense made life miserable for Joe Burrow, dropping him five times and hitting him on another seven dropbacks. Garrett, who had a lingering shoulder injury during the practice week, was on the field for 42 snaps (79 percent). He's recorded 4.5 sacks over the last three games and is looking like the disruptive force he was prior to an automobile accident that forced him to miss Week 4.

Garrett (shoulder) was a full participant at practice Saturday and carries no game status designation ahead of Monday's game versus Cincinnati, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

Garrett missed back-to-back practices during the week leading up to Monday's game, but it appears he'll be ready to roll for Week 8. The two-time All-Pro will have a juicy matchup against a Bengals offensive line that's allowed 25 sacks through seven games so far this season.

Garrett (shoulder) didn't practice Friday, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

Garrett has been a non-participant in back-to-back sessions to start Week 8 prep due to a shoulder injury. It's possible the absences are merely precautionary as he works his way back to full strength following an automobile accident, but his lack of participation in any capacity is still concerning. He'll have one more opportunity to practice before the team needs to make a decision on his status for Monday's matchup against the Bengals.

Garrett recorded four tackles and one sack in Sunday's 23-20 loss to Baltimore in Week 7.

Garrett is getting back to being a disruptor after missing one game due to a shoulder injury as a result of an automobile accident. That shoulder forced him to leave last week's loss to New England early, but he was in for 80 percent of the defensive snaps Sunday. Garrett has three sacks over the last two weeks and six for the season.

Garrett (shoulder) compiled five tackles (three solo), two sacks and a forced fumble in the Browns' 38-15 loss to the Patriots on Sunday.

It was Garret's second two-sack performance of the season, as he also accomplished the feat in Week 1 against the Panthers. Garrett now has 15 tackles (10 solo), five sacks, two forced fumbles and a pass defensed on the season. Despite suffering a shoulder injury and missing the final five minutes of the game, he is expected to play Sunday against the Ravens.

Garrett (shoulder) expects to play next week after leaving Sunday's contest early with a shoulder injury.

Garrett left the Browns' Week 6 loss to the Patriots in the fourth quarter after sustaining a shoulder injury, but the 26-year-old is confident he'll be ready to go Week 7 versus Baltimore. His status at practice will be worth monitoring this week and if he can't go, Isaac Rochell could step into a starting role.

Garrett missed the final five-plus minutes of Sunday's 38-15 loss to New England after aggravating a shoulder injury, Chris Easterling of the Akron Beacon Journal reports.

Garrett, who had been dealing with shoulder and biceps injuries during the practice week, played well Sunday, recording five tackles and two sacks. He left the game following his second sack. When asked following the game if he would play next week against Baltimore, the edge rusher proclaimed, "I was playing [Sunday], and I'll be playing next week." He first suffered the injuries in an automobile accident Sept. 26 and has been dealing with lingering soreness since.

Garrett recorded two tackles in Week 5's 30-28 loss to the Chargers.

This was Garrett's first game back following shoulder and biceps injuries as a result of an automobile accident. The edge rusher played 58 of 71 (82 percent) of the defensive snaps. That's on par with his season share of 85 percent.

Garrett (shoulder/biceps) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Chargers, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

Garrett was injured in a car accident Sept. 26 and was unavailable for last week's loss to Atlanta. Although he was limited in practice all week, he'll be able to return to action following a one-game absence. Over his first three appearances of the season, he tallied seven tackles (five solo), including three sacks, a forced fumble and a pass defense.

Garrett (shoulder/biceps) is participating in Wednesday's practice and has a solid shot to play versus the Chargers in Week 5, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

Garrett may ultimately be listed as limited on Wednesday's injury report, but it's encouraging to see him already back on the field. He suffered a sprained left shoulder, strained right biceps and cut right wrist in a one-car crash last week, per Cabot. The Browns also didn't have Jadeveon Clowney (ankle) available Week 4.

The Browns are optimistic that Garrett (shoulder/biceps) will be able to suit up Week 5 versus the Chargers, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Garrett is already ruled out for Sunday's contest in Atlanta, but it looks like there's optimism his absence could be limited to one game. The standout pass rusher is recovering from shoulder and bicep injuries sustained in a one-car crash Monday. Garrett being out of the lineup, as well as Jadeveon Clowney (ankle) being listed as questionable, could bode well for Marcus Mariota's ability to operate in a clean pocket Week 4.

Garrett (shoulder/biceps) has been downgraded to out and will not play in Sunday's contest against the Falcons, Zac Jackson of The Athletic reports.

Garrett didn't practice all week due to separate injuries to his shoulder and biceps following a single-car accident Monday, but the prevailing opinion was the star defensive lineman could still suit up Sunday. The Browns preemptively ended the suspense, ruling Garrett out ahead of Sunday's clash with the Falcons. Jadeveon Clowney represents the team's only established pass rusher left, but the former Texans defensive end is also listed as questionable for Sunday's contest and didn't practice all week thanks to an ankle injury. If Clowney were ultimately unable to play, Marcus Mariota and the rest of the Falcons passing unit could be in for a successful day.

Garrett (shoulder/biceps) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Falcons, Jake Trotter of ESPN.com reports.

Per Trotter, Garrett has yet to practice since suffering a left shoulder strain and a right biceps strain during a single-car accident Monday afternoon. However, the team is still giving the star defensive end a chance to suit up in Week 4, with coach Kevin Stefanski saying they'll wait to see how Garrett responds over the next 24-48 hours before determining his availability. Jadeveon Clowney (ankle) is also questionable, so if one or both of Clevelands top pass rushers is ruled out, Isaiah Thomas, Alex Wright and Isaac Rochell would be candidates for increased roles.

Garrett (shoulder) will not practice Thursday, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

Garrett is still recovering from his single-car accident that occurred after leaving practice Monday. According to defensive coordinator Joe Woods, Garret is day-to-day and there's still a chance he could play Sunday against the Falcons, Cabot also reports. With Garrett and Jadeveon Clowney's (ankle) both nursing injuries, the Browns' pass rush could take a significant hit in Week 4.

Garrett (shoulder/biceps) won't practice Wednesday, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

Per Jake Trotter of ESPN.com, the defensive end suffered a shoulder sprain and biceps strain, along with cuts and bruises in a one-car crash Monday afternoon. While Garrett will remain at home Wednesday, he's expected back at the Browns' training facility Thursday and at this stage hasn't been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Falcons.

Browns general manager Andrew Berry said that Garrett suffered a shoulder sprain, biceps strain and multiple cuts and bruises after the defensive end was involved in a one-car accident Monday, Jake Trotter of ESPN.com reports.

Garrett was treated at a Cleveland-area hospital before being discharged a few hours later, and Berry noted that the 27-year-old has passed all concussion testing following the accident. However, Garrett's status for Sunday's game in Atlanta remains undetermined, and it's unclear if he'll be back on the field in any capacity Wednesday, when the Browns hold their first official Week 4 practice. Through Cleveland's first three games this season, Garrett has recorded seven tackles and three sacks.

Garrett was discharged from a Cleveland hospital late Monday after being treated for undisclosed injuries he sustained in a one-car accident earlier in the afternoon, Jake Trotter of ESPN.com reports.

Garrett and a female passenger were fortunate to not suffer any life-threatening injuries in the accident, despite his vehicle veering off the side of the road and flipping over multiple times when he swerved to avoid an animal on a wet road, according to Tom Pelissero of NFL Network. His agent, Nicole Lynn, also disclosed that Garrett didn't break any bones in the accident, but the nature of the defensive end's injuries may not be known until the team releases its first Week 4 practice report in advance of Sunday's game in Atlanta. The Browns are scheduled to return to practice Wednesday, and it's unclear if Garrett will be able to participate in any capacity.

Garrett -- who was transported to the hospital after a car accident Monday -- has been alert and responsive, according to his agent Nicole Lynn.

Lynn added that Garrett is still waiting to learn the extent of his injuries, though it was previously reported that these issues are non-life threatening. Jake Trotter of ESPN.com reports that Garrett did not sustain any broken and is anticipated to be discharged from the hospital Monday night.

Garrett suffered non-life threatening injuries after being involved in a one-car accident Monday afternoon, Nate Ulrich of the Akron Beacon Journal reports.

Per Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer, Garrett, who was involved in the accident after he left the team's practice facility Monday, was transported to a local hospital and the Browns are in the process of gathering more information.

Garrett (neck) does not have an injury designation for Thursday's game against the Steelers, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.

Garrett was limited in Wednesday's practice, but that won't keep him from suiting up for Thursday's divisional matchup. The star defensive end already has three sacks on the season and could increase that tally against Mitchell Trubisky and the Steelers' moribund offensive line.

Garrett (neck) is expected to play Thursday against the Steelers, Brad Stainbrook of 247Sports.com reports.

Garrett didn't practice Tuesday, but he's still expected to suit up in Week 3, which is an encouraging sign for Cleveland's defense after ruling out Jadeveon Clowney on Monday. Garrett has three sacks through just two games this season and will look to continue his strong play against Mitch Trubisky and the Steelers on Thursday.

Garrett (neck) is not expected to practice Tuesday, Jake Trotter of ESPN.com reports.

The Browns may simply be giving Garrett some time to rest ahead of Thursday's matchup against the Steelers, but his status will need to be monitored closely. The star defensive end has three sacks in two games this season.

Garrett had one sack and two quarterback hits in Sunday's 31-30 loss to the Jets in Week 2.

Garrett's out to a fast start with three sacks over the first two weeks. He'll have to operate without the threat of Jadeveon Clowney (ankle, out) at the other edge in Week 3, when the Browns host the Steelers on Thursday.

Garrett logged two sacks, four tackles, three tackles for loss, one blocked pass and forced a fumble in Sunday's 26-24 win over the Panthers in Week 1.

Before Carolina's fourth-quarter comeback, this game was all about the Browns' top-notch running game and a dominating effort by the defense, led by Garrett. In all, the Browns' defense had four sacks, six quarterback hits, seven passes defensed, and two turnovers. Garrett had a career-high 16 sacks in 2021 and seeks a fifth consecutive season with double-digit sacks.

Garrett (personal) will be active for Friday's joint practice with the Eagles, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

Garrett is expected to be back with the team after missing the last four practices while addressing a personal matter. Although he's practicing Friday, he's still not going to play Sunday as the team prioritizes his health ahead of the 2022 campaign.

Garrett is on an excused absence from training camp to be with a gravely ill member of his family, Mary Kay Cabot of the Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

Garrett missed a fourth consecutive practice Thursday, but the star edge rusher is expected back for Friday's second day of joint practice against the Eagles. He is not expected to play when the two teams meet Sunday.

Garrett had one tackle and one sack in Week 18's 21-16 win over the Bengals.

Garrett played just 31 snaps (61 percent) in the season finale and felt the impact of a recent groin injury suffered in Week 15. Over the next three games, he recorded just three tackles and one sack. Garrett and Jadeveon Clowney formed a formidable edge duo, which led to Garrett setting a franchise record 16 sacks. He's grown into a team leader, which was evident when the Browns locked him up to a five-year deal in 2020. He'll be back in 2022, but it's uncertain if Clowney will join him. Garrett has lobbied the team to re-sign Clowney.

Garrett (groin) does not carry an injury designation into Monday's tilt against the Steelers, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

It's fair to say that while Garrett doesn't carry an injury designation into Monday's contest, the groin injury that has limited the defensive end's explosiveness likely will still be an issue as the season progresses. The 26-year-old has just one sack over the last three games after registering 14 through the first 12 games of the season.

Garrett said his injured groin feels the same as it did during last week's loss to Green Bay, Marla Ridenour of the Akron Beacon Journal reports.

Garrett, who was a limited participant for the second consecutive practice Friday, lamented a lack of explosion when getting out of his stance. "When I'm picking my legs up out of my stance, that explosive moment, that hurts. Any kind of explosive movement where it's going left, right or forward I do feel it," he said. Garrett played 88 percent of the defensive snaps against the Packers finished with one tackle and one quarterback hit. Despite the lack of explosiveness, the edge rusher is expected to suit up Monday night against the Steelers.

Garrett (groin) was a limited participant at Thursday's practice, Marla Rednour of the Akron Beacon Journal reports.

Garrett sustained an injured groin during Cleveland's Week 15 loss to the Raiders, but he's played through it. The defensive end was questionable last Saturday, but played 88 percent of the defensive snaps, recording one tackle and one quarterback hit. "He certainly was not the 100 percent version of Myles we have seen this season," head coach Kevin Stefanski said. Garrett has an additional day to get ready for Monday's game at Pittsburgh.

Garrett (groin) is active for Saturday's Christmas Day matchup with the Packers, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.

As expected, Garrett will give it ago for Sunday's game. Barring any setbacks, look for the star pass rusher to take on his usual workload.

Garrett (groin) has been deemed questionable to play Saturday against the Packers, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.

The pass-rusher popped up on the injury report with the groin ailment after Monday's loss to the Raiders and has been unable to practice this week, though the Browns have only had walkthroughs this week as they still work their way through a COVID-19 outbreak. With the team's next game coming Christmas Day, a Saturday, Garrett has one fewer day than usual to nurse the injury, putting his availability in doubt. If he were to miss the contest, Porter Gustin could step into a larger role, though it's hard to predict considering the Browns could see the return of many players from the reserve/COVID-19 list before the game.

Garrett (groin) was an estimated non-participant at Wednesday's practice, Marla Ridenour of the Akron Beacon Journal reports. The Browns had an "estimated" injury report, because they only held a walkthrough.

It was Garrett's second straight day as an estimated non-participant. The defensive lineman underwent testing Tuesday, but Cleveland head coach Kevin Stefanski would not reveal anything about the results. Garrett, who has 15 sacks in 2021, appears headed for a questionable tag leading up to Saturday's road game against Aaron Rogers and the Packers.

The Browns listed Garrett (groin) as a non-participant on their estimated injury report Tuesday, Marla Ridenour of the Akron Beacon Journal reports.

Garrett sustained the groin injury during Monday's loss to Las Vegas but returned to the game following a brief spell on the sidelines. He played 60 of the 69 defensive snaps and was adamant following the game that he would play through the injury. Cleveland head coach Kevin Stefanski said the team is still gathering information. If Garrett is not available or limited for Saturday's game in Green Bay, then Joe Jackson and Porter Gustin should get opportunities. In addition to Garrett's injury, the Browns have Jadeveon Clowney on the reserve/COVID-19 list and Takkarist McKinley (Achilles) on injured reserve.

Garrett suffered a groin injury during Monday's game against the Raiders, Nate Ulrich of the Akron Beacon Journal reports.

Garrett was able to return to the contest after picking up the injury, but it was clear after the game that he'll deal with the issue leading up to Saturday's upcoming matchup in Green Bay. The team should have a better idea of his availability based on how he feels during the week in practice.

Garrett had three tackles, a sack, a forced fumble and a fumble return for a 15-yard touchdown in Sunday's 24-22 win over the Ravens.

Garrett provided what turned out to be the key play in Cleveland's win that gave life to their playoff chances. He circled behind quarterback Tyler Huntley and forced the ball loose as the quarterback attempted to throw. After a few lineman couldn't get their mitts on the ball, Garrett scooped it up and returned it to the house untouched. It was the first touchdown of his NFL career and gave the Browns a 24-3 lead late in the first half. The edge rusher was credited with a sack on the play, giving him 15 for the season and setting a franchise record for sacks in a single season.

Garrett (foot) doesn't carry an injury designation into Sunday's contest against the Patriots, Nate Ulrich of the Akron Beacon Journal reports.

Garrett didn't practice Wednesday or Thursday, but he was able to return in a limited fashion Friday. The limited practice apparently was enough for the Browns to rule him healthy for Sunday's matchup against the Patriots. Garrett has played in all nine contests this season and has totaled 12 sacks, including at least one sack in five straight games.

Garrett (foot) missed the Browns' practice Wednesday.

It's uncertain when Garrett suffered his foot injury but it's likely the injury occurred during the Browns' Week 9 victory over the Bengals. Expect Takkarist McKinley to see an increased role against the Patriots in Week 10 if Garrett is unable to suit up.

Garrett had two tackles (one solo) and 1.5 sacks during Sunday's 41-16 win over the Bengals.

Garrett was productive as usual during Sunday's divisional win, and with 12 sacks through nine contest, it now looks all but inevitable that he surpasses his previous career-high mark of 13.5 sacks. Versus Mac Jones and the Patriots in Week 10, Garrett could well manage to break that exact mark.

Garrett recorded four tackles and a sack in a 15-10 loss to the Steelers on Sunday.

Garrett's sack helped him cross into the double-digits to 10.5 and extend his lead league in sacks on the season. Half-way through the 2021 campaign Garrett is on pace to break his career high of 13.5 set in his sophomore season. He'll look to push closer to doing so in Week 9 as the Browns travel to Cincinnati.

Garrett totaled three tackles (one solo) and 1.5 sacks in Thursday's 17-14 win over the Broncos.

Garrett played just 65 percent of Cleveland's defensive snaps Thursday, his lowest mark of the season. However, he still extended his league lead in sacks, as he now has 9.5 sacks across the first seven games of 2021.

Garrett (knee/ankle) is active for Sunday's matchup against Arizona, Nate Ulrich of the Akron Beacon Journal reports.

Garrett is suffering from multiple injuries but managed to log two limited practices leading up to Sunday's matchup. Though he's been banged up for multiple weeks, he has still recorded at least a partial sack in four of five games this season.

Garrett (knee/ankle), who is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Cardinals, is expected to play, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

For the second straight week, Garrett is tending to a sore ankle and knee, but neither issue is expected to prevent him from playing. In last week's loss to the Chargers, Garrett played 79 percent of the defensive snaps while recording two tackles, a pass breakup and his NFL-leading seventh sack of the season.

The Browns have listed Garrett (knee) as questionable for Sunday's contest with the Cardinals.

After missing Wednesday's practice, Garrett practiced in limited fashion for consecutive days to close out the week. His final status is unlikely to be determined until closer to kickoff, as he is looking like a true game-time decision.

Garrett won't practice Wednesday due to ankle and knee injuries, Tom Withers of the Associated Press reports.

The star defensive end was listed as questionable heading into last week's game against the Chargers with the same two injuries, but he proceeded to suit up and play 54 snaps in the Browns' 47-42 loss. While he was limited to a season-low two tackles, one of his stops was a sack of Justin Herbert, Garrett's league-leading seventh of the season. The Cleveland brass hasn't suggested that Garrett suffered a setback in last week's contest, so he may just be receiving some maintenance ahead of Sunday's game against the undefeated Cardinals.

Garrett (knee/ankle) is active for Sunday's game against the Chargers.

Garrett was listed as questionable for Sunday's contest with knee and ankle soreness, but he was widely expected to take the field and such will be the case in this one. His presence will be key to attempt to slow down Justin Herbert and the Chargers' offense. Garrett has six sacks through four games, including a 4.5-sack performance in Week 3 against Chicago.

Garrett is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Chargers with knee and ankle soreness, but the defensive end expects to suit up, Scott Petrak of The Chronicle-Telegram reports.

Garrett's optimism about his availability suggests he'll be able to take the field barring a setback. That's good news for the Browns as they try to slow down Justin Herbert and the high-powered Chargers passing attack. Garrett has six sacks through four games, bolstered by a 4.5-sack performance in Week 3 against Chicago.

Garrett posted seven tackles (six solo), 4.5 sacks and four tackles for loss in Sunday's 26-6 win over the Bears.

Garrett and Cleveland's defense spoiled Justin Field's first career start by sacking him a total of nine times. The Browns had struggled to get after the quarterback through their first two games, but that issue was remedy by a dominating performance from Garrett on Sunday. The 25-year-old has 5.5 sacks through the first three weeks and is on his way to registering his fourth straight double-digit sack season.

Garrett posted four tackles (three solo) and a sack in Sunday's 33-29 loss to the Chiefs.

Garrett sacked Patrick Mahomes on third down late in the fourth quarter, forcing the Chiefs to punt with a four-point lead and just 2:59 remaining. The Browns squandered the opportunity, as quarterback Baker Mayfield threw an interception just five plays later. Nevertheless, it was a strong start for Garrett, who's aiming for his fourth straight season with double-digit sacks.

Garrett (hamstring) isn't listed on the Browns' injury report, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.

Garrett sustained a hamstring injury early in August that landed the defensive end on the injury report listed as day-to-day. The injury hasn't affected Garrett recently and he's been a full participant in practice ahead of Sundays' season opener against the Chiefs.

Garrett (wrist) participated in practice Tuesday, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.

Garrett was absent from Sunday's session due to a wrist concern. When he took the field for individual drills Tuesday, he was donning a brace on his right wrist, but the defensive end removed it after only a handful of reps. Despite this fact, Garrett didn't take part in a pass-rush drill in which other D-linemen weaved through heavy bags. Look for the 24-year-old to continue ramping up his activity level with an eye toward the Browns' season opener in Baltimore on Sept. 13.

Garrett was held out of practice Sunday with a wrist ailment, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

Coach Kevin Stefanski says the teams was merely showing an "abundance of caution." It sounds like Garrett should return to practice before Week 1.

Garrett practiced in pads for the first time Monday, Mary Kay Cabot of the Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

Garrett was slowed by a hamstring injury earlier in camp, so his participation in pads represents a step in his progression. Coming off a suspension-marred season, in which he recorded 10 sacks in nine games, Garrett is motivated to stay out of trouble in 2020 and play a full schedule.

Garrett (hamstring) is expected to participate in Saturday's practice, Nate Ulrich of the Akron Beacon Journal reports.

Garrett missed a couple of practices earlier last week after straining his hamstring running but will make his return to the field Saturday. The 2017 No. 1 overall pick has played just one full season in his three-year career to date but has accumulated back-to-back seasons with at least 10 sacks.

Garrett (hamstring) participated in individual drills during Thursday's practice, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

Garrett had missed a number of practices since suffering a hamstring injury earlier this month, so it's encouraging to see him back to work in some capacity. It doesn't appear that the star defensive end is in any danger of missing Week 1's tilt against Baltimore. As long as he's on the field, Garrett will be a premier fantasy option in IDP formats.

Garrett sustained a hamstring injury, but head coach Kevin Stefanski is "not overly concerned" about it, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

Stafanski also called it a tweak, so it doesn't appear to be a severe injury that would impact his availability for the season opener against Baltimore on Sept. 13. It's worth keeping an eye on Garrett's progress through training camp, and the Browns likely won't rush him back after signing the defensive end to a five-year, $125 million deal in July.

Garrett signed a five-year contract extension Wednesday, Mary Kay Cabot of the Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

The deal, worth $125 million, locks up Garrett through the 2026 season. In Garrett, the Browns have one of the more disruptive edge rushers in the NFL. He finished with 10 sacks over 10 games in 2019 before being suspended for the final six games following an incident in Pittsburgh. He has 30.5 sacks in 37 career games.

The Browns and Garrett are close to agreeing to a contract extension, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

The Browns exercised the fifth-year option on his rookie deal back in April, as expected, but this new deal will lock him in through the 2026 season. Aside from his suspension to close out 2019, he's been eminently productive, racking up 30.5 sacks in 37 career games to date.

The Browns are working on a long-term extension for Garrett, Terry Pluto of the Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

Garrett is the leader of the Browns defensive line, an area of strength on the team, and he was on his way to becoming the defensive player of the year in the NFL before an ugly incident against Pittsburgh prompted an indefinite suspension. He was reinstated during the offseason and will be available for 2020. The Browns then exercised the fifth-year option on this contract, so Garrett is in house until 2021, but Cleveland wants him around longer than that. He's compiled 30.5 sacks over 37 career games.

The Browns are exercising the fifth-year option on Garrett's contract, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

This was a foregone conclusion for Garrett, who has 65 QB hits, 30.5 sacks and six forced fumbles in 35 NFL games. The next step is to sign him to a long-term contract, one that challenge for a new league record among non-quarterbacks.

Garrett has been reinstated from suspension, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

Garrett met with NFL commissioner Roger Goodell on Monday to discuss a reinstatement from indefinite suspension. The league office didn't take long to sign off, allowing the superstar defensive end to return to action for the 2020 preseason as well as the beginning of the regular season. Garrett missed the final six games of 2019 after he was suspended for swinging a helmet at Steelers quarterback Mason Rudolph. The 25-year-old pass rusher rejoins a team with a new head coach (Kevin Stefanski) and defensive coordinator (Joe Woods). The Browns plan to maintain a 4-3 alignment as their base defense, per Andrew Gribble of the team's official website.

Garrett met with NFL commissioner Roger Goodell on Monday to discuss a possible reinstatement from his indefinite suspension, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

While there's still no timeline for the decision, we should have clarity soon on how long Garrett's ban will last. The 24-year-old defensive end already sat out the final six games of the 2019 season for swinging a helmet at Mason Rudolph's head in Week 11. Until his suspension is lifted, Garrett is ineligible to participate in the Browns' offseason program.

Garrett is scheduled to meet with NFL commissioner Roger Goodell within the next 60 days to discuss the possibility of reinstatement from his indefinite suspension, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

Goodell declined to divulge details about the upcoming meeting during his Super Bowl press conference Wednesday, but at the least it should represent a step in the right direction for Garrett to eventually retake the field. The 24-year-old missed the final six games of the 2019 regular season after receiving an indefinite suspension as a result of his action during the Week 11 loss to the Steelers. As long as Garrett's suspension remains upheld, he will not be eligible to participate in the Browns' offseason program.

Garrett was added to Friday's injury report with a knee injury, but he was a full participant and is expected to play Week 10 against the Bills, Mary Kay Cabot of the Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

Garrett, who ranks second in the league with 10 sacks, should be an IDP candidate against Buffalo, which ranks 13th in sacks allowed with 22 over eight games.

Garrett (knee) was a full practice participant Friday and is ready to go for Sunday's game at New England, Nate Ulrich of the Akron Beacon Journal reports.

Garrett was worryingly added to the injury report Thursday with the knee issue, but it won't impact his availability for Sunday's matchup with the Patriots. The 23-year-old has nine sacks and two forced fumbles in six games this season and figures to see a fair share of attention in Week 8.

Garrett was limited in Thursday's practice due to a knee injury, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.

Garrett was not listed on Wednesday's injury report, which indicates that his knee issue may have been sustained during practice. The star pass rusher's availability for Sunday's tilt against the Patriots could come down to what he's able (or unable) to do in practice Friday.
