Cleveland Browns defensive ends Myles Garrett and Jadeveon Clowney are questionable to play in Sunday’s game against the Falcons in Atlanta.
Garrett, 26, sustained a shoulder injury among other bumps and bruises following a car accident on Monday.
“The latest is (he is) here today and continuing to rehab,” Browns coach Kevin Stefanski said of Garrett’s availability for the game. “We’re going to list him as questionable. We’re going to use the next 24, 48 hours to see how he continues to respond to treatment and those types of things and make an appropriate decision on him and the rest of the guys.”
Garrett told reporters he’s “feeling a lot better” and was “blessed to live another day.” As for his availability to play on Sunday, Garrett said he’d like to join his teammates on the field.
“If it were up to me, I’d love to go,” Garrett said. “That’s just my competitive spirit and my nature. Physically, we have to assess that going up to the game. … That’s just a decision we’ll make a little bit closer to game time.”
Garrett has three sacks, seven tackles and a forced fumble in three games this season for the Browns (2-1).
A two-time All-Pro, Garrett has recorded 210 tackles, 61.5 sacks and 12 forced fumbles in 71 games (69 starts) since being selected by the Browns with the top overall pick in the 2017 NFL Draft.
Clowney, 29, is nursing an ankle injury that forced him to miss Cleveland’s 29-17 victory over the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sept. 22.
He has totaled 297 tackles, 42.5 sacks and 13 forced fumbles in 99 career games (90 starts) with the Houston Texans, Seattle Seahawks, Tennessee Titans and Browns. Clowney was selected by the Texans with the top overall pick of the 2014 NFL Draft.
The Browns ruled out defensive tackle Taven Bryan (hamstring) and offensive tackle Joe Haeg (concussion) for Sunday’s game.
