Myles Garrett ranks first among highest pressure rates in Week 3

Garrett put Andrew Thomas through the ringer on Sunday

The toughness and greatness of Myles Garrett for the Cleveland Browns continued in Week 3 despite the unsuccessful homestand against the New York Giants.

While battling injuries in both feet, Myles Garrett still achieved the highest pressure rate among NFL pass rushers last week. If that wasn’t a big enough challenge, he also faced second-team All-Pro left tackle Andrew Thomas during this matchup.

The Browns organization and their fans have seen time and time again how hard it is to keep Myles Garrett off the field. His determination to play for his team was also shown in 2022 when he was in a car accident and suffered a shoulder injury that affected his play. Nonetheless, Garrett found a way to suit up and still be one of the most talented players during the Browns matchups that season. Cleveland’s star edge rusher has the grit and ability to make the opposing team dial in on him, no matter how banged up he might be.

Cleveland is set to visit the Las Vegas Raiders on Sunday for their week 4 matchup. Look for Garrett to go after Raiders quarterback Gardner Minshew early and often and continue his streak as the NFL’s most successful pass rusher.

Myles Garrett and Malik Nabers had the classiest mic’d-up exchange after the rookie’s acrobatic TD catch

This was so wholesome.

Malik Nabers didn’t find himself in the easiest situation as a top-10 pick in New York who has Daniel Jones as his quarterback. But through three games, the rookie receiver from LSU has lived up to the billing — and exceeded the loftiest expectations.

Even his opponents are showing respect in the middle of a game.

Nabers followed up his monster Week 2 performance with a two-touchdown game in Week 3 against the Browns. That effort included an acrobatic, spinning catch where Nabers was somehow able to get both feet in bounds. You don’t see many receivers — much less a rookie — make that catch. So, Browns star Myles Garrett had to give Nabers some credit during the game.

In a mic’d-up exchange from NFL Films, we could hear as Garrett said:

“Malik! You’re a bad boy. Keep doing your thing.”

Nabers responded, “Appreciate it. You too, sir.”

He’s out there calling opponents, “Sir!” You just know Nabers is about to become a favorite among NFL players.

See it: Malik Nabers, Myles Garrett share wholesome on-field moment

New York Giants rookie WR Malik Nabers and Cleveland Browns DE Myles Garrett shared a wholesome, now-viral on-field moment in Week 4.

On Sunday at Huntington Bank Stadium, New York Giants rookie wide receiver Malik Nabers put on a dazzling display.

Nabers made plays all over the field, including two highlight-reel receptions — one for a key first down over a defender and the second for a touchdown in the back corner of the endzone.

When all was said and done, Nabers finished the game with eight receptions for 78 yards and two touchdowns.

Even before the final whistle had blown, Cleveland Browns All-World edge rusher Myler Garrett saught out Nabers on the field and gave him his flowers. The exchange between veteran and rookie was remarkably wholesome.

“Malik,” Garrett said. “You a bad boy. Keep doing your thing.”

“Appreciate it,” Nabers responded. “You, too, sir.”

To have a superstar like Garrett dap a player up after they just scored a touchdown on his defense speaks volumes about the reputation Nabers is developing.

Meanwhile, Nabers responding with such class, dignity, and respect in what he likely believed was a private moment also highlights an impressive mentality.

The Giants got themselves a good one.

Myles Garrett set to continue to play through several injuries

The perennial All-Pro won’t slow down for injuries.

There is no talking Cleveland Browns defensive end and reigning NFL Defensive Player of the Year Myles Garrett out of playing.

Despite being listed with three different injuries on the Browns’ report on Wednesday, suffering from ailments in both feet, his achilles, and his thigh, Garrett is set to continue to play through his injuries. Head coach Kevin Stefanski confirmed this as well speaking to the media before Wednesday’s practice:

“Myles is determined to continue to play. He’s played through injuries in past.”

Despite playing through his injuries, Garrett is still performing like his normal self. Against Andrew Thomas of the New York Giants, one of the best offensive tackles in the NFL, Garrett racked up a massive seven pressures and three quarterback hits on the day. Getting set to take on the Raiders, Garrett now pulls in a more favorable draw.

Looking for answers and doing some soul-searching, the Browns can at least count on Garrett to be the same player and give it his all week in and week out. Expect more the same, whether hurting or not, from Garrett.

PFF’s 10 highest-graded defensive players in loss vs. Giants

The defense rebounded nicely after a rough first half against the Giants.

It was a difficult first half for defensive end Myles Garrett and the Cleveland Browns defense on Sunday against the New York Giants. The team was able to find their footing in Week 2 with an excellent performance and was sure to continue this momentum into Week 3. Instead, Giants quarterback Daniel Jones and rookie wide receiver Malik Nabers was a duo the Browns defense had no answer for.

These PFF grades help tell us who might’ve had the biggest impact on the team and what needs to improve the most. The majority of Cleveland’s PFF grades tell the story that we saw play out in this ugly Week 3 result. Despite the loss, some individual performances stood out for Cleveland.

Many Browns defenders played to the best of their strengths and had a tremendous game, like Garrett. The star defensive end is one of the many reasons why viewing individual performances is a critical analysis for game-planning and seeing how to improve as a team moving forward. Most of the defenders now find themselves on the wrong end of this PFF report two of the three weeks into the season.

Browns get great news on their injured star pass rusher

I think I just heard a collective sigh of relief.

The Cleveland Browns have seen their star pass rusher Myles Garrett hobbling off the field for consecutive weeks now. He has stated that he has issues with both of his feet, but that he intends to play through the pain, but was one of several Browns players to get an MRI on the Monday after an abysmal loss to the New York Giants.

And while the MRI did not come back so clean for teammate and offensive guard Wyatt Teller, Garrett did get a clean bill of health back from his results according to NFL Network’s Ian Rappoport. This means that we can expect Garrett to continue to play through the pain for as long as the Browns are competitive and in the hunt (things need to shape up quickly!).

Despite the pain that hampered Garrett on the day, he finished with an astonishing nine pressures and three hits on Giants’ quarterback Daniel Jones. As he sets his sights on the Las Vegas Raiders and Gardner Minshew, we have no reason but to expect more of the same.

We don’t deserve Myles Garrett

He’ll go down as one of the best Browns to ever do it. Through ailment and all.

The Cleveland Browns have one of the best to ever do it in defensive end Myles Garrett.

Fresh off of an NFL Defensive Player of the Year award, Garrett has been back to working offensive tackles, including Pro Bowler Andrew Thomas on Sunday in the loss to the Giants. While Garrett did not come away with a sack, he was a constant presence in the backfield and in the face of Daniel Jones, whose timer was sped up exponentially by the perennial All-Pro.

On the day, Garrett tallied a massive nine total pressures, three hits on Jones, and six hurries. This led the entire NFL, excluding the teams playing on Monday Night Football.

The kicker? Garrett is playing through an injury that by all means is not minor. Set for an MRI on Monday, the Browns and Garrett are seeking out just how significant it is. Garrett disclosed last week that his injury is affecting both of his feet, potentially dating back to a childhood surgery.

Head coach Kevin Stefanski, however, has stated that Garrett is day-to-day and will likely continue to play through the injury as he has through three weeks. Garrett’s thoughts on where he stands with his injury and status on game day?:

“Wrap me up, tape me up. Let’s go.”

There is a reason Garrett is well-respected amongst his teammates as a team captain, as well as his peers around the NFL. There is a reason that every opposing offense has to alter their game plan to get the ball out lightning fast when they play the Browns. There is a reason that Garrett won NFL Defensive Player of the Year.

Garrett is one-of-one and there will never be another like him. And the Browns are lucky to have him.

The MRI machine is getting a workout in Berea

The MRI machine might overheat…

The Cleveland Browns are doing their best Oprah impersonation: “You get an MRI! You get an MRI! You get an MRI!”

After their loss to the New York Giants in monumentally disappointing fashion, head coach Kevin Stefanski announced that a flurry of key players would be set for further testing on injuries. Chief among them? Reigning Defensive Player of the Year Myles Garrett.

Garrett, who played through two foot injuries, also injured his groin in this game against the Giants. While the perennial All-Pro wants to play through the pain, it may be getting to much to bear for him.

He was not the only one, however. Three offensive linemen who have started games for the Browns this year will also get an MRI on Monday. Left tackle Jedrick Wills, who was playing well in his first game back this season, left the game after getting buckled under a Giants’ player. Wyatt Teller was also ruled out with a knee injury, and James Hudson III (even the swing tackle!) left with a shoulder injury that needs more testing.

Coming off of a year with extremely bad injury luck, the fortunes have not turned in the favor of the Browns. Hopefully the flurry of MRIs reveal nothing serious.
