Cleveland Browns defensive end Myles Garrett is off to a nice start to the 2024 season and has a pair of sacks and a pair of forced fumbles through the first two games as he looks to post his seventh consecutive season with double-digit sacks.
According to recent reports, his path to double-digit sacks is going to be more difficult than ever due to a pair of injuries he has accumulated.
ESPN’s Adam Schefter said that Garrett is dealing with the same injury to both of his feet and will play through it even though it might require a procedure after the season.

The reigning Defensive Player of the Year said that he doesn’t feel 100 percent but feels good enough to go out there and make a difference and acknowledged that this is going to be a pain management issue.
It’s unclear what exactly the injury is that Garrett is dealing with, but playing through it shouldn’t cause any further damage.
He didn’t practice on Wednesday or Thursday this week but logged a full session on Friday, and if these foot injuries linger, that could become a trend for him going forward as the team looks to keep him fresh and limit his mileage during the week.
There are few players more indispensable in the NFL, and even at less than 100 percent, Garrett is still the driving force behind this defense.
One can only hope his feet don’t get worse and that the Browns can do a good job keeping him as fresh as possible through the rest of the season.
