John Dorsey, Myles Garrett release statements on suspension ruling

John Dorsey, Myles Garrett release statements on Garrett’s indefinite suspension being upheld

Browns GM John Dorsey has released a statement for the organization reacting to defensive end Myles Garrett’s indefinite suspension being upheld. Garrett appealed the decision on Wednesday but the NFL denied his appeal.

As a result, No. 95 will remain suspended until at least the end of the 2019 postseason. Garrett will need to apply for reinstatement with NFL commissioner Roger Goodell at an undetermined date after the end of the season.

Dorsey’s statement via a Browns press release,

As we’ve consistently stated, our organizational support for Myles will continue. He is a man of high character and unquestionable integrity. He was open and honest with us about the incident from the start. He has taken accountability for his actions on Thursday night and this situation will not define him. As an organization, our focus going forward remains on the task-at-hand, which is preparing for the Miami Dolphins.
