Browns' Myles Garrett: Playing through foot injury
Rotowire
Garrett told reporters after Sunday's 18-13 win over the Jaguars that his foot doesn't "feel great," but he will play through it, Zac Jackson of The Athletic reports.
Garrett popped up on the Browns' injury report Thursday as a DNP, and he was limited during Friday's practice session. He finished Sunday's game with three solo tackles, including 1.0 sacks, and one forced fumble. Garrett will likely be held out or limited during practices leading up to Week 3 against the Giants, but the expectation is that the 2017 first-round pick will play as long as his foot injury doesn't get worse.

Browns' Myles Garrett: No injury designation for Week 2
Rotowire
Garrett (foot) was limited in practice Friday and does not carry an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Jaguars, Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN.com reports.
Garrett appears to have simply been dealing with foot soreness this week, so his status for Week 2 never appeared to be truly in danger. Za'Darius Smith (back) has also been cleared Friday, so Cleveland's top pass rushers will both be available versus Jacksonville.

Browns' Myles Garrett: Misses practice Thursday
Rotowire
Garrett (foot) did not practice Thursday, Chris Easterling of the Akron Beacon Journal reports.
Garrett wasn't listed on Wednesday's injury report, so it appears his foot issue may have been sustained during practice. Mary Kay Cabot of Cleveland.com reports that Garrett's foot injury isn't believed to be serious and is mostly related to soreness. If the star defensive end can practice in any capacity Friday, it will bode well for his chances of suiting up Sunday against Jacksonville.

Browns' Myles Garrett: Should see field soon
Rotowire
Garrett (hamstring) is "very close" to practicing, head coach Kevin Stefanski stated Thursday, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.
Garret still may not be 100 percent recovered from the injury to his hamstring suffered during minicamp in June. It had been reported Friday he would be returning shortly as well, but it makes sense for the Browns to be cautious with their star pass rusher and the reigning Defensive Player of the Year.

Browns' Myles Garrett: Will play Saturday
Rotowire
Garrett (shoulder) no longer has an injury designation for Saturday's game against the Texans, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.
Garrett has yet to miss a game this season, and that won't change with the Browns set to play in the wild-card round Saturday. The 28-year-old started the week as a DNP on Tuesday, but after logging a limited practice Wednesday, he ramped up to full participation Thursday.

Rotowire
Garrett (shoulder) was a limited participant at practice Wednesday, Jake Trotter of ESPN.com reports.
Garrett eased some concerns by appearing at practice Wednesday after he missed the Browns' first practice of the week Tuesday. If he can upgrade to full participation Thursday, he'll likely avoid carrying an injury designation into Friday.

Browns' Myles Garrett: Won't play Week 18
Rotowire
Garrett (shoulder/hamstring) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Bengals, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.
Garrett was held out of Friday's practice due to a sore hamstring and he'll miss his first game of the year in Week 18. The current Defensive Player of the Year favorite finishes Cleveland's regular season with 42 total tackles, including 17 tackles for loss and 14.0 sacks, while forcing four fumbles and deflecting three passes. Ogbonnia Okoronkwo should see increased snaps on the Browns' defensive line in Garrett's stead.

Browns' Myles Garrett: Not practicing Wednesday
Rotowire
Garrett (shoulder) won't practice Wednesday, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.
Head coach Kevin Stefanski labeled Garrett as day-to-day earlier in the week, but the star defensive end will sit out the Browns' first Week 13 session while he recovers from the left shoulder injury he sustained in this past Sunday's loss to Denver. If he can't get back on the practice field Thursday or Friday, Garrett's chances of playing this Sunday versus the Rams would diminish.

Browns' Myles Garrett: Labeled as day-to-day
Rotowire
Head coach Kevin Stefanski said Monday that Garrett's left shoulder is "sore" and that he is day-to-day, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.
It's an encouraging development for Garrett, who said he felt something pop in his left shoulder during Sunday's loss at Denver, per Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer. The precise severity of his injury still is unknown at this point, but it seems like there's at least a chance he could suit up Week 13 at the Rams.

Browns' Myles Garrett: Set for scans on injured shoulder
Rotowire
Garrett said after Sunday's 29-12 loss to Denver that he felt something pop in his left shoulder during the game, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports. Garrett's arm was in a sling after the game, and he intends to get scans to determine the severity of the injury, per Jake Trotter of ESPN.com.
Garrett tried to play through the injury after getting hurt against the Broncos, but he was struggling to move the arm and finished the game with just two solo tackles (one tackle for loss) and one pass defensed. Considering Garrett has 13.0 sacks through 11 games and is among the leading candidates to win Defensive Player of the Year, it would be a major blow to Cleveland's defense if he's forced to miss any additional time as a result of this injury. The Browns face the Rams in Week 13.

Browns' Myles Garrett: Picks up two sacks in win
Rotowire
Garrett recorded two sacks in Sunday's Week 11 win over the Steelers.
Garrett heads into Thanksgiving with a league-high 13.0 sacks and looks like the frontrunner for Defensive Player of the Year honors. He's three sacks off his career-high of 16.0, set last season. Garrett has also recorded 30 tackles (22 solo), 11 TFLs, 23 QB hits, four forced fumbles, one fumble recovery and two pass breakups.

Browns' Myles Garrett: Productive again versus Seattle
Rotowire
Garrett tallied two tackles (two solo), including a sack, and a forced fumble in Sunday's 24-20 loss to the Seahawks.
Garrett had another productive outing despite the loss and has now logged at least one sack in all but two games this season. The 2017 first-round pick already has 8.5 sacks less than halfway through the campaign and is currently on pace to set a new career high with 20.5.

Browns' Myles Garrett: Injures leg during loss
Rotowire
Garrett suffered a lower leg injury during Cleveland's 28-3 loss to Baltimore on Sunday.
Garett was spotted wearing a walking boot following the loss, during which he registered a sack. Through four games, the 2017 first overall pick has logged nine tackles (eight solo), including 5.5 sacks. If Garrett is forced to miss time, Ogbonnia Okoronkwo will likely start in his place.

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: Ready for Sunday
Rotowire
Garrett (foot) wasn't listed on the Browns' injury report Wednesday.
As expected, Garrett will be ready to go Sunday, when Cleveland hosts Joe Burrow and Cincinnati. The four-time Pro Bowler is seeking his sixth consecutive double-digit-sack season and remains a strong option in IDP leagues.

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.
