Myles Garrett sustained multiple injuries in a Monday car accident, and although the Browns defensive end was released from the hospital Monday night, his season may be paused for a bit.
Garrett sustained a shoulder sprain and biceps strain in the accident, Tom Pelissero of NFL.com reports, adding that the sixth-year pass rusher also suffered lacerations during the single-car accident (Twitter link). Garrett crashed his 2021 Porsche after leaving the Browns’ facility. The vehicle flipped several times, according to News5Cleveland.com.
The Browns confirmed Garrett did not sustain any fractures and confirmed he has cleared concussion protocol. The female passenger who was with Garrett also did not sustain serious injuries, according to the team. All things considered, Garrett came out of this incident fortunate, even if he is forced to miss games as a result.
Garrett, 26, did not miss a game last season and has been a first-team All-Pro in each of the past two years. The star edge defender missed two games in 2020 due to COVID-19 but has not missed a game due to injury since his 2017 rookie season. Garrett was banned for six contests in 2019, after his infamous helmet strike on Mason Rudolph.
In the offseason following his suspension, the Browns gave Garrett a then-defender-record five-year, $125MM extension. The former No. 1 overall pick has rewarded his team, registering 28 sacks from 2020-21. Teaming with Jadeveon Clowney again, the Texas A&M product has three thus far this year. Clowney’s status becomes more important now, too. The ninth-year defensive end missed Cleveland’s Week 3 game with an ankle injury. The Browns have not ruled him out for their Week 4 tilt against the Falcons.
Lucky to have no breaks/fractures, just some dings. Luckily for him his teammate knows some professional masseuses to work out the aches and pains.
Things would have turned out much worse if his driving was as bad as that joke.
I think his driving is much worse than the joke. How you flip your car several times? What the Hell was he doing?
With a Porche no less. Superior handling and braking and it still got flipped several times.
If you look at the link to the article in the story, it shows a picture of the scene of the crash. There’s a fire hydrant there and a rather steep drop off on a very narrow shoulder of the road. I could see how if you went off course you could roll the car, but not sure how you’d roll it several times unless you weren’t doing the speed limit. The report only states that drugs and alcohol were not involved. It mentions nothing about speeding.
Porsches (depending on the model) are almost all rear-wheel drive, rear engine cars. It took them ages to figure out the handling characteristics, and the newest ones are pretty much dreams to drive compares to the nightmares the older ones were. That being said, the handling characteristics are still different in a car like this.
That’s not correct. A lot of models including the popular 911 including the Targa and Carerra models, Cayenne, Macan, and Panamera are all examples of AWD. Porche is famous in the race car world for their superior handling and braking.
Those AWD versions you are speaking of, especially in the 911 series, are not full AWD, all the time. They are limited AWD that I think at most send 30% of the power to the front wheels.
Yes, the racing version, in the hands of a race driver, are known for their superior handling and braking. In the hands of rank amateurs, they are dangerous.
With the exclusion of a few models, they have an AWD OPTION, they are not default AWD. In fact, two of the most road-racing versions of the 911, the GTR2 and 3, are RWD only. Several models are exclusively RWD as well.
Dude everyone knows porches are mostly AWD as are the Audi’s and Volkswagen’s that company also make. You’re just wrong. My point was that it’s especially hard to flip a car with a amazing handling, so he must have been doing something nuts or something extreme must have occurred. If you don’t agree with that, then we can just be in disagreement.
I am absolutely NOT wrong. Almost every car Porsche makes is RWD with an AWD OPTION. Several cars are RWD ONLY, only a couple of which I specified above.
It is not hard to flip a car with high power to the rear wheels and little weight over the front ones (because the engine isn’t there) if you don’t know how to drive a car like this. They don’t handle like other cars.
I agree that he was probably driving like an idiot, I never said otherwise. But, you’re not going to get away with telling me that I am wrong about cars. Absolutely not, especially when all the facts are on my side.

The car is only as good as the driver…
Grow up loser, your dry
Nothing unusual about flipping your car multiple times on a road with a 45MPH speed limit.
It was 50mph
You are incorrect. The speed limit sign is right at the accident intersection.
Supposedly swerving to miss an animal on a wet road…sounds kind of odd, doesn’t it?
Look we have all gotten a handy in a car before….just some of us didn’t crash while it happened.
Sooner those were the days. Lol You have to stop that stuff when kids show up. Was fun while it lasted.
Strange circumstances all around including a mystery woman as passenger. Still, as much as I don’t like the Browns and despise Garrett, I hope he recovers quickly. Whatever the true story is, doesn’t outweigh the health of he and his passenger. I’d just as soon cuss him out on TV than to see serious injury befall him or anyone else.
If you didn’t watch him on TV and many others followed suit, he wouldn’t have that car, most likely wouldn’t have that woman in the car with him, and the situation would have never happened. So really, it is your fault when you think about it.
Because I know people have no sense of humor or the foggiest idea of what sarcasm is, I hereby mark my post as such.
Sarcasm? I just simply have no idea what the f**k you’re saying but, you do you.
Of course you don’t. My comments take a certain level of sophistication in order to fully comprehend and appreciate.
Ok Brownsbacker. Whatever you say.
Do you hear that guy in your sleep or something? He’s not even in this thread and you keep talking to him. You two must really be pals.
You are him dude. I seen an old Watson article where you are defending Watson. The spelling is the exact same as your spelling. Nobody can steal the exact username. You act just like him with the name calling and douchbag attitude. Saying what you said to the guy who’s Mom was dead is disgusting
Nope, try again, silly boy. I am sure you’ve seen plenty of people defending Watson just like you do, but I am not one of them. The spelling of my handle can’t be exactly the same. The actual Brownsbacker copied my handle but used “No Polotics.” So the spelling isn’t exactly the same because I am not an idiot like he is and I know how to actually spell. This proves that you are him because you obviously can’t spell or tell the difference.
I don’t act like he does because I don’t defend Watson and I don’t like the Cleveland Browns, or any other football team for that matter.
I didn’t say anything about anyone’s dead mother, stop making stuff up, Brownsbacker.
You have major problems Brownsbacker. I don’t believe you like Watson, you’re just a troll that keeps changing his username. Biggest fool on here for what you said about the guys dead Mom.
I didn’t say anything about anyone’s dead mom, so there’s that. Have a nice delusional day.
Of course you did. It was on this thread. I think it was yinzinnatian. The administrator deleted them. I’m gonna make sure everyone knows you’re Brownsbacker
Young with a lot of money, admiration and an overly-confident sense of entitlement. Typically, humble and modest people don’t role Porsches going X amount of MPH. 45, whatever. You’re going to tell me he only has one car?
This really isn’t news other than it happened. At least he wasn’t drinking. Insurance would tell you that these things happen, we’ve all been there or near the stories. Hopefully something’s learned.
bet he was speeding. and if he was it’s to bad he wasn’t caught. glad both are ok and hopefully he learns from it .
He got caught alright. By a fire hyrdrant which he managed to dislodge from its mount and pull out of the ground with his car….
Are these athletes contracted to lose out for egregious NFIs?
Lotta forensics experts here. I guess I have to be the adult and say that it’s good to hear he’s mostly okay, circumstances be darned.
what an idiot
Scott cousins is the biggest idiot
So will the NFL question the female traveling with Garrett because Porche’s just don’t flip!
If she is not too busy looking after Blair, Tootie, Natalie and Jo, Mrs Garrett can help Myles with his recovery.
She might be too busy on Different Strokes.
