The team said Garrett did not suffer life-threatening injuries, but did not release further details on his condition.
CLEVELAND — Cleveland Browns star defensive end Myles Garrett was released from the hospital late Monday night after being injured when he overturned his Porsche while driving on a rural road after practice.
Garrett suffered non-life threatening injuries in the single car wreck. He was taken to hospital along with an unidentified female passenger after the crash at around 3pm – about 2 hours after training ended.
Garrett’s playing status for the upcoming game is unknown. The Browns visit the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday. “Cleveland” players do not practice on Tuesday.
His agent, Nicole Lynn, said Garrett didn’t break any bones. Lynn said Garrett was “alert and responsive” while receiving medical attention.
The Ohio State Highway Patrol said in a news release that officers who arrived at the scene of the crash found Garrett’s damaged car on the side of the road after it appeared to have rolled over several times. Garrett was driving down State Road in Sharon Township on a trip south after leaving team headquarters in Berry, Ohio.
The Highway Patrol has no suspicion of drug or alcohol involvement. Garrett and his passenger were both wearing seat belts in their Porsche 911 Turbo S. The crash is still under investigation.
One of the NFL’s most dominant defensive players, Garrett, 26, has recorded 61 1/2 sacks in 71 games. He needs one sack to pass Clay Matthews for the team’s career sack record.
In 2017, the Browns drafted Garrett with the No. 1 overall pick.
