After the win against the Jacksonville Jaguars, defensive end and reigning Defensive Player of the Year Myles Garrett revealed he is playing through a foot injury.
He stated that he would continue to play through it, but through two practice days leading up to their Week 3 matchup against the New York Giants, Garrett has not suited up. He did not appear on the gameday injury designations, meaning he will play through the injury again this week, but the All-Pro has revealed the injury is worse than initially stated.
Cleveland dot com’s Mary Kay Cabot has stated that Garrett revealed it is actually both of his feet that are bothering him and not just one. Garrett stated that he had double foot surgery as a child, and this might be a lasting effect of the previous surgery.
Furthermore, while Garrett has plans to continue to play through the injury, there have already been discussions about another possible procedure on his feet down the road.
This is good news on the surface as Garrett can get this corrected again, but now the thought about whether or not this will be a lasting and reoccurring problem as he nears the age of 30 will be stuck in the back of the minds of many, including the Browns and Garrett.
