Cleveland Browns star Myles Garrett wore walking shoes after his injury versus the Cleveland Browns. Baltimore Ravens

The Cleveland Browns lost badly on Sunday. That came in the form of a discouraging 28-3 loss to the Baltimore Ravens in Week 4 as the Browns recorded their second loss of the season.

This loss also came at a high cost as star defensive end Myles Garrett suffered a leg injury during the game.

Garrett was forced to leave the game in the third quarter after what was initially believed to be some type of ankle injury. The two-time All-Pro DE briefly visited the medical tent but was able to return to the game shortly after. In his post-match interview, Garrett revealed that it was actually the foot, not the ankle, that was the problem:

“It’s been tough,” Garrett said, via Mary Kay Cabot of cleveland.com. “They are trying to take precautions. It wasn’t my first choice, but I’m just trying to do what I can to get back as quickly as possible.

This is not an encouraging development for Cleveland fans everywhere, as they are now waiting with bated breath for any further updates on Garrett’s foot injury. The four-time Pro Bowler will likely undergo additional testing on Monday, which is expected to determine his status moving forward.

The positive here for the Browns is that they will have a bye week in Week 5. This will give Garrett more time to recover as they prepare to face the San Francisco 49ers in Week 6.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Baker Mayfield has spoken honestly about where he stands with former teammate Odell Beckham Jr.

Mayfield and Beckham were teammates at the Cleveland Browns from 2019-21, with the latter arriving following his exit from the New York Giants. Mayfield was the No.1 overall pick in the 2018 NFL Draft, and the link-up with Beckham was met with widespread excitement in Cleveland.

However, the duo’s respective time in Ohio did not go fully to plan. Beckham spent a little under three seasons in Cleveland before being released in November 2021.

Prior to Beckham’s exit from the Browns, there had been reports of a breakdown in the relationship between the receiver and Mayfield. A report from ESPN released days after the announcement from Cleveland stated that a lack of a connection on the field with passes and running routes led to a breakdown in the duo’s relationship off the field.

Nearly two years after Beckham’s exit from Cleveland, Mayfield has been asked about where he currently stands with his former teammate. The Bucs quarterback was speaking to Pat McAfee for ESPN for the “Pat McAfee Show” on Friday when he was asked if he and Beckham are “friends”.

“We’re good now,” Mayfield said in response. “We’re good now and that’s part of me growing as a person.

“I think normally I would hold a lot of grudges, but no, we’re good. We squashed that.”

At the end of the 2021 NFL season, just months after Beckham’s exit, Mayfield also left Cleveland at the end of the fourth and final year of his rookie contract. He would go on to sign for the Carolina Panthers before a short spell with the Los Angeles Rams during a hectic 2022 season.
