BEREA, Ohio — The Cleveland Browns headed back out on to the practice field in Berea Wednesday, but defensive end Myles Garrett wasn’t with them.
Coach Kevin Stefanski told reporters Wednesday that Garrett was at home resting.
It’s been two days since Garrett was involved in a rollover car accident in Medina County.
According to the Ohio State Highway Patrol, Garrett and a female passenger were heading southbound on State Road near Sharon Copley Road Monday afternoon around 3 p.m. when his 2021 Porsche went off the road, flipped and landed in a ditch.
OSHP said Garrett, who lives in Medina County, and his passenger were both wearing seatbelts at the time of the crash and were taken to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries. Garrett has since been released.
According to OSHP, neither alcohol nor drugs were factors in the crash.
Tuesday evening, the Browns provided an update to Garrett’s condition saying:
“First—and most importantly—we are thankful that Myles, his passenger and no other parties were seriously injured in the single-car accident yesterday. After a medical evaluation today, our team doctors at University Hospitals have concluded that Myles has sustained a shoulder sprain, biceps strain, minor lacerations as well as some bumps and bruises to various other body parts.”
The Browns went on to say that Garrett didn’t suffer any fractures and has also cleared concussion protocol.
The team has yet to say if Garrett will play in Sunday’s game on Oct. 2 in Atlanta against the Falcons and are simply standing behind their defensive end in support.
“The main thing is that he is OK. And obviously, our thoughts are with him and I just want him to be healthy,” said Browns quarterback Jacoby Brissett on Wednesday.
Coach Stefanski said Garrett would be in the building Thursday, but it’s unknown if he’ll practice.
