Garrett Provides Reassuring Update on Eye Injury After Car Crash
CLEVELAND, OH – Cleveland Browns defensive end Myles Garrett offered a reassuring update on his eye condition following a single-car accident last week, stating he expects a full recovery. While specifics regarding the extent of his injuries remain limited, Garrett’s comments suggest the injury is not career-threatening and he anticipates returning to the field.
The accident, which occurred on Monday, September 25th, resulted in Garrett being transported to a local hospital. Initial reports indicated he sustained a shoulder injury and facial lacerations. While the team has not released detailed medical information, citing patient privacy, Garrett himself took to social media and subsequent interviews to address concerns about his eye.
"I’m doing much better," Garrett stated in a brief video posted to his social media accounts. "I’m still recovering, but the doctors are pleased with my progress. I’m focusing on my healing and getting back on the field as soon as possible." He declined to elaborate on the specifics of his eye injury, but the optimistic tone of his message suggests a positive prognosis.
The Browns organization has remained tight-lipped about the specifics of Garrett’s injuries, only confirming his involvement in the accident and stating he is under the care of team medical professionals. Head Coach Kevin Stefanski has refrained from offering detailed updates, emphasizing the importance of respecting Garrett’s privacy. However, Stefanski did express relief at Garrett’s positive outlook and progress. “Myles is a tough guy,” Stefanski said during a press conference. “We’re happy with his progress and we’ll continue to support him throughout his recovery.”
The timeline for Garrett’s return to the field remains unclear. The severity of his eye injury, alongside the shoulder injury, will dictate his recovery period. The Browns will likely provide further updates as they become available, balancing the public’s interest with the need to respect Garrett’s privacy. His absence leaves a significant void in the Browns’ defensive line, but the team will likely rely on a combination of existing players and potentially roster moves to compensate during his recovery.
