Myles Garrett injuries: Browns star misses practice as he deals with other ailments aside from foot issues

Cleveland Browns defensive end Myles Garrett is dealing with an injury in both feet and underwent an MRI on Monday after aggravating the ongoing issue Sunday. Those results came back clean, according to NFL Media, but he will not be practicing Wednesday, per head coach Kevin Stefanski.

Stefanski said Garrett is working through Achilles and thigh injuries that occurred during Sunday’s game against the New York Giants. The defensive end is determined to play and is not ruled out for this week’s game against the Las Vegas Raiders.
