The Cleveland Browns are trying to get the season back on track. After beginning their season in embarrassing fashion, losing to the Dallas Cowboys 33-17, things only got worse for the Browns. The Browns’ starting quarterback, Deshaun Watson, faces a new sexual assault lawsuit. But now, the Browns’ problems are only multiplying.
The Browns’ star edge rusher and defensive anchor Myles Garrett is dealing with a foot injury and wasn’t available to practice with the team on Thursday.
“Myles Garrett was added to Cleveland’s injury report and did not practice today due to a foot injury,” Adam Schefter of ESPN said in a post on X, the social media website that was formerly known as Twitter.

This couldn’t happen at a worse time for the Browns.
Cleveland has recently put four defensive players on injured reserve, including their starting safety Juan Thornhill. If Garrett is unable to go in Sunday’s meeting against the Jacksonville Jaguars, they’ll be without two of their defense’s most important members.
Needless to say, this would be terrible news for the Browns, and it led to a lot of reactions on social media.

Oh, cool, we needed the brightest spot on the team to be hurt. Didn’t have enough issues already. 😩

If Garrett can’t get back on the field soon and Watson isn’t able to take care of his struggles on and off the field, the Browns’ season may be over before it ever got a chance to begin.
