Cleveland Brons Star Myles Garrett in Walking Boot After Concerning Injury Vs. Baltimore Ravens

The Cleveland Browns lost badly on Sunday. This came in the form of a disheartening 28-3 blowout loss against the Baltimore Ravens in Week 4 as the Browns marked their second loss of the season.

This defeat came at quite a cost as well, with star defensive end Myles Garrett suffering a foot injury during the game.

Garrett was forced to exit the game in the third quarter after what was initially believed to be some sort of ankle injury. The two-time All-Pro DE made a quick visit to the medical tent but was able to return to the game not long after.

In his post-game interview, Garrett revealed that it was actually an issue with his foot and not his ankle:

The bad news here is that Garrett was in a walking boot as he left the stadium after speaking with the press:

This isn’t a very encouraging development for Cleveland fans everywhere, as they now hold their breath for any further updates on Garrett’s concerning foot injury. The four-time Pro Bowler will likely get some more tests done on Monday, which should determine his status moving forward.

The silver lining here for the Browns is that they get a bye week in Week 5. This will give Garrett more time to heal up as they prepare to face off against the San Francisco 49ers in Week 6.

The game was set to be one of the best of the week, however, the Ravens’ chances of a win increased in a major way on Sunday morning with some injury news on the Browns starting QB. After suffering a shoulder injury last week against the Tennessee Titans, Deshaun Watson was questionable all week. After going through warmups before the afternoon clash, it became clear the QB had still not recovered and was officially ruled out of the matchup.

In his place will be rookie Dorian Thompson-Robinson, a player Cleveland used a fifth-round pick on in April. “I’m ready for it. Very confident in my preparation for the week,” Thompson-Robinson told ESPN on Friday when he was asked about the possibility of getting his first NFL start today against Baltimore.

The news is a big blow to the Browns since Watson had his best game in a Cleveland uniform in Week 3 when he posted 289 yards and two touchdowns in their 27-3 victory over the Titans. However, Thompson-Robinson won’t have a very high bar to reach in comparison to Watson.
