Good news, Browns fans: Myles Garrett is getting closer to a return.
Garrett, the No. 1 pick in the NFL Draft, has yet to make his NFL debut because of a sprained ankle sustained in the days before Week 1. He is making progress and Hue Jackson says the DE is “close” to being back on the field for the team.
And while the Browns wouldn’t rule Garrett out for Sunday’s game, Jackson isn’t ready to say Garrett will be able to play in Week 3.
“Now, I’m not going to say that,” Jackson said Wednesday via Cleveland.com. “Let’s just see where he is, but he’s getting there. There’s huge progress that’s been made. Hopefully we’ll see where he is.”
Garrett has a high ankle sprain, which is usually a 4-6 week injury. He is viewed as a fast healer, which means his chances of playing in Week 4.
