Browns' Myles Garrett: Monster performance vs. Tennessee
Rotowire
Garrett recorded five tackles (four solo), including 3.5 sacks, and a forced fumble in Sunday's 27-3 win versus the Titans.
Garrett took advantage of a shaky Tennessee offensive line and wrecked the opposing gameplan from the word "go" in Week 3, somehow making an even bigger impact on the game than his stats would indicate. He's on pace for a career year in the sack column even by his absurd standards, making him a top IDP option at defensive line and arguably an early frontrunner for Defensive Player of the Year.

Browns' Myles Garrett: Picks up sack vs. Cincinnati
Rotowire
Garrett recorded two tackles, including a sack, in Sunday's 24-3 win versus the Bengals.
Garrett ran straight through the right tackle and a chip from the running back en route to sacking Joe Burrow, one of two times Cincinnati's signal-caller was taken down behind the line of scrimmage in Week 1. Garrett is already on pace for his sixth consecutive double-digit sack season ahead of Week 2 at Pittsburgh.

Rotowire
Garrett (foot) wasn't listed on the Browns' injury report Wednesday.

Browns' Myles Garrett: Restructures deal for cap room
Rotowire
Garrett (foot) agreed to restructure his contract Monday, Chris Easterling of the Akron Beacon Journal reports.
The Browns already have the second-most cap space available headed into the season, so it's unclear why the move was necessary. Garrett is signed through 2026 and has been dealing with a foot issue this summer, though it shouldn't affect his availability for Week 1.

Browns' Myles Garrett: Practicing in limited fashion
Rotowire
Garrett (foot) only participated in individual drills Wednesday, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.
Garrett was rolled up on during Monday's practice, which forced an early exit for the Texas A&M product. Considering he was able to at least partake in individual drills, it seems likely that Garrett will make a full recovery in plenty of time for the team's season opener against the Bengals in just under four weeks.

Browns' Myles Garrett: Ties personal sack record
Rotowire
Garrett made seven tackles, including a sack, two tackles for loss and two quarterback hits in a 28-14 loss to the Steelers in Week 18.
The sack was Garrett's 16th, tying the personal mark for sacks in a single season he set in 2021. He played through injury but only missed one game following his involvement in an automobile accident leading up to Week 4. It was a shoulder injury and lingered a bit, but Garrett remained productive. He's been available for 33 of 34 games the last two years, and, at age 26 next season, Garrett is still in his prime and should continue to be a dominant presence.

Browns' Myles Garrett: Shows up in Week 17
Rotowire
Garrett recorded eight tackles (four solo) and 1.5 sacks in Sunday's 24-10 win over the Commanders.
After playing a season-low 36 defensive snaps in Week 16 against the Saints, Garrett ramped up to 52 snaps (75 percent) this past weekend versus Washington and logged the most tackles he's had in a game since Week 4 of his sophomore campaign. The All-Pro defensive end's 53 stops on the year now accounts for a new career high in that department, and if he's able to register one sack in the Browns' regular-season finale versus Pittsburgh, he'd then have back-to-back seasons with 16 sacks.

Browns' Myles Garrett: Benched to begin Week 16
Rotowire
Garrett didn't play the first defensive series of Saturday's 17-10 loss to the Saints because of a "team thing," Chris Easterling of the Akron Beacon Journal reports. "That was just a team thing," Cleveland head coach Kevin Stefanski said Monday. "That was my decision."
Garrett played 36 of a possible 54 snaps (67 percent) -- a season low in snaps and his second-lowest percentage in 14 games played -- and finished with three tackles. The Browns didn't elaborate on what team protocol was violated. The star edge rusher was on the field for the Saints' second offensive possession.

Browns' Myles Garrett: No designation for Week 16
Rotowire
Garrett (illness) doesn't have a designation for Saturday's game against the Saints after he returned to practice Thursday as a limited participant, Anthony Poisal of the Browns' official site reports.
Garrett and running back Nick Chubb (foot) both missed the Browns' first two days of practice this week, and even though neither took full reps Thursday, the team saw enough to clear the two standout players heading into the weekend. In the matchup with the Saints, Garrett will be taking aim at what could be banged-up offensive line. New Orleans placed starting right guard Cesar Ruiz (foot) on injured reserve earlier this week, and starting left guard Andrus Peat (illness) is iffy for Saturday's game after not practicing Thursday.

Browns' Myles Garrett: Part of defensive rebound in win
Rotowire
Garrett had two tackles, 1.5 sacks, four quarterback hits and one pass defensed in Monday's 32-13 win over Cincinnati in Week 8.
Garrett and the rest of the previously maligned Browns defense made life miserable for Joe Burrow, dropping him five times and hitting him on another seven dropbacks. Garrett, who had a lingering shoulder injury during the practice week, was on the field for 42 snaps (79 percent). He's recorded 4.5 sacks over the last three games and is looking like the disruptive force he was prior to an automobile accident that forced him to miss Week 4.

Rotowire
Garrett (shoulder) compiled five tackles (three solo), two sacks and a forced fumble in the Browns' 38-15 loss to the Patriots on Sunday.
It was Garrett's second two-sack performance of the season, as he also accomplished the feat in Week 1 against the Panthers. Garrett now has 15 tackles (10 solo), five sacks, two forced fumbles and a pass defensed on the season. Despite suffering a shoulder injury and missing the final five minutes of the game, the star defensive end thinks he'll be able to play Sunday against the Ravens.

Browns' Myles Garrett: Resumes practicing
Rotowire
Garrett (shoulder/biceps) is participating in Wednesday's practice and has a decent chance to play Sunday against the Chargers, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.
Garrett may ultimately be listed as a limited participant on Wednesday's injury report, but it's encouraging to see him already back on the field. He suffered a sprained left shoulder, strained right biceps and lacerations on his right wrist in a one-car crash last week, per Cabot. The Browns also didn't have Jadeveon Clowney (ankle) available Week 4.

Browns' Myles Garrett: Not practicing again
Rotowire
Garrett (shoulder/biceps) won't practice Thursday, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.
Garrett is still recovering from the left shoulder sprain and right biceps strain he suffered Monday in a single-car accident. According to Anthony Poisal of the Browns' official site, Garrett was back at the team facility Thursday after he spent Tuesday and Wednesday recuperating from his injuries, and defensive coordinator Joe Woods noted that the star defensive end is viewed as day-to-day in advance of Sunday's game in Atlanta, per Cabot. With Garrett and Jadeveon Clowney (ankle) both nursing injuries, the Browns' pass rush could take a significant hit in Week 4 if neither is available.

Browns' Myles Garrett: Expected to play Thursday
Rotowire
The Browns expect to have Garrett (neck) available for Thursday's game against the Steelers, Brad Stainbrook of 247Sports.com reports.
Garrett didn't practice Tuesday while managing the neck issue, but he's still expected to gain clearance for Thursday's game against the Steelers. It's unclear whether Garrett will approach that contest with an injury designation, but Wednesday's practice report should offer clarity on that front. Garrett has three sacks through just two games this season and will look to continue his strong play against Mitch Trubisky and the Steelers this week.

Garrett (neck) is not expected to practice Tuesday, Jake Trotter of ESPN.com reports.

Rotowire
Garrett logged two sacks, four tackles, three tackles for loss, one defensed pass and a forced fumble in Sunday's 26-24 win over the Panthers in Week 1.

In all, the Browns' defense had four sacks, six quarterback hits, seven passes defensed and two turnovers. Garrett had a career-high 16 sacks in 2021 and seeks a fifth consecutive season with double-digit sacks.

Garrett (personal) will be active for Friday's joint practice with the Eagles, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.
Garrett is expected to be back with the team after missing the last four practices while addressing a personal matter. Although he's practicing Friday, he's still not going to play Sunday as the team prioritizes his health ahead of the 2022 campaign.
