Myles Garrett injury update: the latest on Browns star DE

Cleveland Browns star defensive end Myles Garrett left the game against the Kansas City Chiefs with an eye injury.

Cleveland Browns star defensive end Myles Garrett left the game against the Kansas City Chiefs with an eye injury.

The reigning defensive player of the year was trying to work around Chiefs’ offensive lineman Joe Thuney when he suffered the injury. It looked like Thuney may have inadvertently hit Garrett through his face mask. He is the second defensive starter to leave the game, following cornerback Martin Emerson Jr.

Garrett immediately threw off his helmet during the play and writhed on the ground in pain. Garrett was able to get immediate medical attention and walked off the field with trainers. He went right to the locker room.

The players on the Chiefs were incredibly worried about Garrett. Quarterback Patrick Mahomes flagged down medical trainers immediately after the play ended. Thuney made sure to console Garrett as he made his way off the field.

It was telling how much respect the Chiefs have for Garrett. Especially, as the team could’ve easily celebrated the touchdown they scored on the play.

The Browns put a visor on Garrett’s helmet as he continued to be examined by the medical staff. He is questionable to return.

Chiefs vs Browns predictions, picks

Chiefs 21, Browns 18: The Chiefs don’t have a lengthy history with the Browns, so judging their past performances against Cleveland provides little insight. However, the Browns are having a rough year and Jameis Winston— while exciting to watch—is unlikely to outduel Patrick Mahomes. Kansas City will ultimately find a way to win this one but, naturally, the final score will be entirely too close for comfort.

Myles Garrett speaks on ‘dysfunction’ this season; reaffirms commitment to Browns

Myles Garrett spoke on the rough 2024 season and his future moving forward.

The Cleveland Browns have lost most of their matchups in the 2024 season. The team has battled injuries, fan backlash, and more. Despite this mostly being a season to forget, Browns All-Pro Myles Garrett has no intention of giving up on his team.

“We have all to be trending in the right direction and on the same page until that doesn’t happen, I’m going to be here happily playing for Cleveland,” said Garrett. The reigning defensive player of the year has shown no signs of giving up on his team and reiterated that he has no plan. Garrett also went on to discuss the Browns’ on-field struggles throughout 2024.

He stated that there was some clear dysfunction among the team this season, but that has not knocked his confidence. “Organizationally, our goals have aligned all season; our play and execution have not.” The team has clearly had some struggles that began with poor quarterback play early on. Unfortunately, this snowballed into more longstanding issues for the team that they hope to move on from in 2025.

Pro Bowl OL officially listed doubtful for Chiefs’ Week 15 matchup vs. Browns

The #Chiefs are likely to be without one of their Pro Bowl offensive linemen for their Week 15 matchup against Myles Garrett and the #Browns.

The Kansas City Chiefs officially listed 2021 Pro Bowler D.J. Humphries as doubtful on their injury report heading into a crucial Week 15 matchup against reigning NFL Defensive Player of the Year Myles Garrett and the Cleveland Browns.

Kansas City signed Humphries in November after Wanya Morris and Kingsley Suamataia failed to provide Patrick Mahomes with adequate protection from the left tackle spot for much of the regular season.

Humphries was injured in his Chiefs debut in Week 14 and is now likely to miss at least one game due to his condition.

In his absence, Morris or Suamataia will be relied on to start at left tackle against Cleveland’s fierce pass rush, which is headlined by Garrett, who has 11 sacks this season.

Mahomes was sacked three times in Kansas City’s Week 14 win over the Los Angeles Chargers, and the Chiefs will need to get creative to ensure that he isn’t facing constant pressure at Huntington Bank Field on Sunday.

Chiefs DT Chris Jones shares his thoughts on Myles Garrett’s impact: ‘Hope he has no success’

Kansas City #Chiefs defensive tackle Chris Jones shares his thoughts on Myles Garrett’s impact: ‘Hope he has no success’ | @EdEastonJr

Kansas City Chiefs All-Pro Chris Jones spoke with reporters on Thursday about his counterpart on the Cleveland Browns, Myles Garrett. He shared his thoughts on Garrett’s success and hopes he doesn’t replicate that against the Chiefs offense on Sunday.

“Myles (Garrett) is amazing. (He) won Defensive Player of the Year last year, was well deserved, and has a lot of respect for his game,” said Jones. “Yeah, I have much respect for him and hope he has no success against us.”

Garrett is tied for second in the league in sacks with eleven and has three forced fumbles, maintaining his dominance as the top defensive end.

“Anytime you get on the field as a competitor,” said Jones. “You want to outdo anyone you get on the field with a few competitors. So I think that aspect speaks for itself. But I happen to hope he has no success.”

Jones hasn’t had many sacks this season due to constant double teams, but he has created opportunities for teammates. On Sunday, Garrett’s presence on the other sidelines could fuel the star defensive lineman in Cleveland.

Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes shares his thoughts on the Browns’ defense: ‘A great challenge’

Kansas City #Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes shares his thoughts on the Cleveland #Browns’ defense: ‘A great challenge’ | @EdEastonJr

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes has faced pressure in the pocket throughout the season and has fallen victim to numerous sacks. This Sunday, he faces another aggressive defense with pass-rushing superstar Myles Garrett and the Cleveland Browns.

Mahomes shared his thoughts on Garrett and the Browns defense during Wednesday’s conversation with reporters in his weekly press conference.

“I think you have to prepare for it as an entire offense. You have to give him (Browns DE Myles Garrett) different looks. You can’t let him just pass rush over and over again. I mean, he’s – he won Defensive Player of the Year for a reason, man.” said Mahomes. “He’s going to win a lot of those matchups, and so we’ll throw him changeups, we’ll throw him different pitches that he can hopefully keep his mind racing, but at the end of the day, he’s going to make plays happen. When he starts to win reps or win certain plays, you have to not make them negative plays, get rid of the football, even if that’s throwing it away, and live to play another play.”

Garrett has gotten plenty of attention from offenses over the years for understandable reasons as he continues his torrid play. His teammates on defense have earned a reputation for great play over the years, and Mahomes was sure to highlight them as well.

“They have a lot of great players, I think. You look at the cornerback position in (Browns CB) Denzel Ward – the linebacker position, they’re flying around – safeties, same as well, and then obviously the defensive line. Then, (Browns Defensive Coordinator) Coach (Jim) Schwartz does a great job of mixing up coverages (and) bringing pressure when it’s necessary and then dropping into zone and man coverage when it’s necessary.” said Mahomes. “It’s a really good team. I mean, they were – last year, they have a lot of the same players from last year’s defense that was like number one in the league. It’s a great team with a lot of pride that’s going to be coming (and) playing hard, especially at home, and we understand that it’s going to be a great challenge. We’re going to have to play our best football to win.”

The Chiefs will play another hungry team on the road, trying to pull off an upset and salvage a disappointing season. A game of this nature occurred a few weeks ago against the Carolina Panthers and Las Vegas Raiders as each contest came down to the final play.

PFF argues Cam Heyward deserves more 2024 DPOY recognition

35 year old DT Cam Heyward’s case for DPOY in 2024 gains traction, thanks to his incredible production in 2024.

Not only is DT Cam Heyward seemingly unable to age, but he is also putting together one of his best seasons to date at 35 years old. In what can only be described as a similar situation to Benjamin Button, Pro Football Focus has taken notice of Heyward’s dominance in 2024.

The ever-polarizing PFF has typically been unkind to the Pittsburgh Steelers, but no one can deny Heyward’s phenomenal start to the season. Bradley Locker of Pro Football Focus argued that Heyward’s case for Defensive Player of the Year in 2024 isn’t so far-fetched.

Locker stated that Heyward’s consideration for the award is based on his production for his age and his ability to excel against both the pass and the run: “In fact, Heyward is one of two NFL defenders to have a 90.0-plus pass-rushing and 80.0-plus run-defense grade, joining Lions safety Brian Branch.”

If Heyward can continue his excellence through the final four games of the Steelers’ season, should he be considered over Watt for the award? While prestigious, one can assume Heyward would prefer a different trophy in 2024: a Lombardi.

Myles Garrett vowing revenge on disrespectful Steelers fans while stuck on the Browns is so rich

Myles Garrett has no self-awareness.

Someone should probably page Myles Garrett about showing a modicum of self-awareness in defeat. On Sunday, his miserable Cleveland Browns took a double-digit loss on the chin from the rival Pittsburgh Steelers, who look like they’re on track for a deep playoff run in the AFC. Even though they’re “rivals,” there’s clearly a massive gap between these two teams.

I mean, the Browns employ Kadarius Toney. That should say enough in itself.

In the process of the Browns getting embarrassed, there were apparently some “Cleveland sucks” chants from home Steelers fans that irked Garrett.

In his postgame press conference, Garrett was asked about those chants. He promised revenge on them and the Steelers … in 2025. Whoa, big threat there, pal! I’m sure Pittsburgh is shaking in its boots! Gasp!

Check out the sequence starting at about 1:16 below:

Look, Garrett is one of the NFL’s best defenders. He’s the reigning Defensive Player of the Year. Shoot, he might even be a future Hall of Famer at his incredible pace. He’s probably some earned measure of being able to talk like this.

Still, none of that changes that he’s on the woeful Browns, who have two winning seasons in his eight-year tenure in Cleveland. More importantly, Garrett’s Browns have just a 5-10-1 record against the Steelers since he joined the team in 2017.

That’s not as lopsided as Browns-Steelers used to be, but it’s still pretty bad. And in a year where Pittsburgh looks like a Super Bowl contender, Garrett would do well to take the gracious approach and let his play (and his team) do the talking come next season.

Because that’s all he can do now: talk trash from afar. That says everything.

Myles Garrett offers challenge to Steelers fans for next season

Myles Garrett is already thinking about next season.

For most of Sunday’s game, Cleveland Browns defensive end Myles Garrett was kept in check by the Pittsburgh Steelers. This was a huge factor in the Steelers beating the Browns 27-14. But late in the game, when the outcome was all-but secured, Garrett got a garbage sack of Steelers quarterback Russell Wilson and proceeded to try and shush the Steelers faithful.

The move obviously backfired and instead initiated a massive “Cleveland sucks!” chant in Acrisure Stadium. Garrett was asked after the game about it and he offered up a challenge to Steeler Nation for next season, hoping they bring that same energy when they come to Cleveland next year.

 

I suppose Garrett can start thinking about next season with his Browns 3-10 and officially eliminated from playoff contention.

Fans react to Steelers eliminating Browns from playoff contention

The Steelers eliminated the Browns from playoff contention, sparking reactions from fans celebrating Cleveland’s 2024 downfall.

Sorry, Cleveland, but the Browns have officially been eliminated from the 2024 playoff picture, all thanks to the Pittsburgh Steelers.

This bitter rivalry in 2024 had nothing short of a storybook ending for the Black and Gold, and a nightmarish continuation of mediocrity for the Cleveland Browns.

Despite spending an enormous payroll in 2024, “Cleveland sucks” chants rang out throughout the Week 14 contest, ultimately foreshadowing the Browns’ demise as the team dropped to 3-10 on the season.

Browns DE Myles Garrett and CB Greg Newsome II had plenty to say following their team’s Week 12 win over the Pittsburgh Steelers. However, it is the Steel City that got the last laugh.

With Browns fans making arrangements to watch other NFL teams compete in the playoffs come January, Steelers fans were having a blast on social media with the news. Here are some of the best reactions from Steelers fans to the Cleveland Browns being eliminated from the 2024 playoff picture.
