For the second time in three months, the top pick in the NFL Draft, Myles Garrett, was unable to finish a practice after suffering an injury.
Browns coach Hue Jackson said that Garrett left practice Wednesday and didn’t return after suffering an injury to his right ankle.
“He went as long as he could,” Jackson said, via Cleveland.com.
Although it’s not yet clear how serious the injury to might be, it seems there’s chance that it could keep Garrett out of Sunday’s opener against the Steelers. After practice, Jackson was asked if he was concerned about the injury, and he didn’t sound overly optimistic.
“We’ll see,” Jackson said, via Ohio.com. “I don’t want to make medical decisions. I’m not very good at them. So we’ll see where we are as we move through the week.”
According to Cleveland.com, one team source that believes that Garrett could end up missing four weeks or more, which would knock him out for the entire first month of the season.
Garrett was officially listed as a limited participant on the Browns’ practice report.
One bit of good news for the Browns is that the injury didn’t occur on the same leg that Garrett’s injured twice since being drafted in April. Back on June 14, Garrett was diagnosed with a lateral foot sprain after being injured during minicamp.
Garrett was also limited during most of the team’s OTA sessions in May, and even missed a practice due to a foot injury he suffered during rookie camp.
Both of those injuries came on the same leg that gave him issues during his final season at Texas A&M. In September 2016, the defensive lineman suffered a badly sprained ankle in September that left him at just “75 percent” for the college season.
