Daily Dawg Tags: Myles Garrett’s return on the horizon
The Cleveland Browns are expecting Myles Garrett back in the next few weeks, but the team must make sure he is completely healthy before letting him play.
Cleveland Browns fans have been anxiously awaiting Myles Garrett’s NFL debut, and it appears to be coming in the next few weeks.
Video from reporters tweeted out on Thursday showed him walking at practice without a walking boot, causing some to think he could come back as early as this Sunday. But that may be a mistake.
Garrett is a game-changing player, but the Browns have too much invested in him to bring him back the second he says he is healthy again. There is nothing wrong with waiting an extra week, especially when looking at the upcoming schedule.
A healthy Garrett may destroy the left side of the Indianapolis Colts’ offensive line, yet that may be true for the rest of the Browns defensive line as well. The game against the Colts is certainly feeling like a must-win, but the Browns should be able to win without the number one pick.
A more logical return could be next Sunday at home against the Cincinnati Bengals, another winnable game for the Browns, at least on paper. Garrett can make sure he is truly 100 percent and can make his debut in front of the home fans in a victory, or so I hope.
We take a look at that news and more in today’s Daily Dawg Tags.
