Browns' Myles Garrett Cited for Failure to Control Vehicle, Unsafe Speed After Crash

Cleveland Browns defensive end Myles Garrett was cited for failure to control his vehicle and traveling at an "unsafe speed" after crashing his car earlier this week.

The Ohio State Highway Patrol announced the charges against Garrett on Thursday. He was allegedly traveling 65 miles per hour in a 45 mph zone.

The Pro Bowler was involved in a one-car accident Monday after leaving the team practice facility. Garrett's car rolled several times after he swerved to avoid an animal on the road, and he suffered a shoulder sprain, bicep strain and minor lacerations in the crash.

His status for Sunday's game against the Atlanta Falcons is still yet to be determined.

“Myles didn’t suffer any fractures and has also cleared body concussion protocol,” the Browns said in a statement. “Currently, our focus is on providing Myles the medical care needed for him to return to football. Although we hope to have him back soon, his availability for Sunday’s game in Atlanta will be evaluated by team doctors throughout the week.”

Garrett's mother, Audrey, told Josina Anderson of CBS Sports she is "relieved" her son only suffered minor injuries.

"He's healing up nicely. Thank God he will be okay and so will the other lady, all things considered," she said. "Myles will get back to the game when the time is right. I feel relieved."

Garrett has racked up seven tackles and three sacks through the first three games of the 2022 season. He's recorded double-digit sacks in each of the last four seasons.

The Browns defense is dealing with several injuries heading into Week 4. Garrett, Jadeveon Clowney, Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah and Denzel Ward are all listed on the injury report.
