Myles Garrett of the Cleveland Browns Overcomes Foot Injury to Remain in Game

Garrett’s Injury and His Determination to Play

Based out of BEREA, Ohio, the Cleveland Browns’ defensive end, Myles Garrett, recently shared that he is grappling with identical injuries to both his feet. Despite the discomfort, he plans to continue playing, although he acknowledges the possibility of a future medical procedure. “I’m not at my peak, but I’m fit enough to step on the field and make an impact,” Garrett asserted on Friday.

Garrett, who holds the title of the NFL’s current Defensive Player of the Year, was absent from practice on Wednesday and Thursday but made a comeback on Friday. There was no official game status listed for Garrett for Sunday’s face-off with the New York Giants. However, Browns’ coach Kevin Stefanski confirmed that Garrett was “up to his usual form” during practice.

Garrett’s Performance Amidst Injury

Garrett featured on last week’s injury report due to the foot issue but still participated in the Browns’ triumphant match against the Jacksonville Jaguars. He showcased his skill by executing a strip sack during the game. Garrett took a few breaks in the victorious match but stated post-game that he would persist in playing despite the injury.

“We’ve discussed the possibility of surgery post-season, but it’s a topic we’ll delve into more as the time nears,” Garrett disclosed. “The problem itself is something I’ll likely have to manage for as long as my career lasts. So it’s about controlling that and powering through it.”

Garrett further revealed that the issue involves an injury to both feet, necessitating pain management. When questioned about the longevity of the injury throughout the season, Garrett optimistically responded, “I hope not. I anticipate that it will keep improving over the next few weeks until it’s no longer a constant bother.”

In the two games he’s played so far, Garrett has proven his prowess with two sacks, both leading to forced fumbles.
