Myles

Garrett

Garrett was a surprise addition to the injury report on Tuesday because of the hip issue. He was held out of practice but returned to the field for a limited session on Wednesday before being removed from the injury report entirely. The superstar EDGE has seven sacks this year and will look to add to the total versus Russell Wilson on Thursday.

He spoke to reporters before practice and it sounds likely that he’ll give it a go on Tuesday, but this is a new listing. Garrett has seven sacks in 10 games this season and a surprise absence would give the Pittsburgh passing game a little more breathing room to work with on Thursday night.

This marks Conklin’s first practice in nearly two weeks. The veteran tackle last practiced ahead of the Browns’ Week 3 matchup against the Giants but has yet to suit up for a game. We’ll see if he’s able to play in Week 5 against the Commanders, but things remain very wait-and-see with him as of right now. In addition to Conklin, Jedrick Wills (knee), Ethan Pocic (ankle), and Myles Garrett (Achilles) also returned to practice, although Garrett will probably see light practices weeks going forward given the nature of his injuries.

Hicks attempted to play through the rib and elbow injuries last week but only made it five snaps. The tricep issue is a new addition to his status on the injury report. He looks unlikely to suit up in Week 5. Myles Garrett (Achilles) did not practice on Wednesday. He didn’t practice last Wednesday either but was cleared from the injury report entirely by Friday. Garrett is likely on a strict workload management routine and should be expected to play this week, despite the DNP.

Garrett missed Wednesday’s practice but returned on Thursday and was upgraded to a full session to close the week. With Cleveland’s offense struggling once again. they have been forced to rely on their defense in an effort to grind out low-scoring wins. Even versus a beleaguered Raiders squad, they will need a strong effort from their superstar defender to come away victorious.

Garrett plans to play through the injuries, but it’s a tough trio of ailments to work through. Garrett was said earlier to be day to day with foot injuries that may require surgery “down the road,” but it’s clear he and the team plan to delay that for the time being. We’ll see how things shape up as the week progresses, but the reigning Defensive Player of the Year is already battling to stay on the field just three weeks into the season.

Garrett said last week that both feet are bothering him and he may consider surgery “down the road,” but for now, the star pass rusher will try to play through the injury. Garrett has totaled two sacks and six tackles in three games this season, earning a PFF pass rush grade of 94.6. He doesn’t appear to be too slowed by the ailment at this time, but injuries to both feet are undoubtedly concerning with 14 games still left in the regular season.

Per Mary Kay Cabot, Garrett told reporters “It’s both feet that are bothering him... Possibly related to double foot surgery he had as a boy.” The Browns have only listed Garrett with a “foot” issue to this point. While technically true, it hardly tells the full story. Garrett’s defensive snap share decreased by 7.9 percent after appearing on the Week 2 injury report, settling in at 68.3 percent last week. It is possible he remains on a snap count moving forward.

Garrett has missed back-to-back practices as he continues to work his way back from a foot injury that has limited the 28-year-old. He was also limited last week and he was able to play, however, so there’s a very good chance he’s on the field against the Giants in Week 3. Sorry, Danny Dimes.

Garrett was added to the injury report in the middle of last week as a DNP on Thursday. He returned to practice on Friday and didn’t even get a questionable tag. The DNP today seems to be nothing more than maintenance for the Browns’ most valuable player. Barring a setback, Garrett should be available to terrorize Daniel Jones on Sunday.
