Myles Garrett officially reinstated by NFL

Myles Garrett

Myles Garrett missed six games to close out the 2019 season after he hit Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Mason Rudolph over the head with a helmet, and that will be the extent of the suspension for the star defensive end.

Garrett met with NFL commissioner Roger Goodell earlier this week, and the Cleveland Browns announced on Wednesday that their former No. 1 overall pick has officially been reinstated.

Garrett was suspended indefinitely after he hit Rudolph over the head with a helmet during Cleveland’s Week 11 game against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Garrett later said he was set off by Rudolph using a racial slur, though Rudolph has vehemently denied that.

Garrett had conditions he needed to meet before being reinstated, which included going to counseling.

The suspension for Garrett was perhaps the low point in what was an incredibly disappointing season for the Browns. The Pro Bowler will be looking for a fresh start under new head coach Kevin Stefanski.
