Myles Garrett injury update: What happened to the Cleveland Browns defensive end?

Cleveland Browns defensive end Myles Garrett suffered a dislocated toe during the Pro Bowl game over the weekend. The four-time Pro Bowler appeared for the AFC in the Gridiron gauntlet event against Brian Burns of the Carolina Panthers. He resoundingly beat Burns in the event before making way for Saquon Barkley to take over.

Garrett sustained the injury despite the NFL designing the Pro Bowl in a format that should reduce the risk of injury. Due to the injury, the perennial Pro Bowler will likely face a spell on the sidelines.

What is the recovery timeframe for a dislocated toe?

A dislocated toe can be either mild or severe, with each having its own recovery period and timeframe. Regular activities could resume within a day or two for a mild injury. However, the recovery timeframe could be significantly longer if there is a severe dislocation. A severe dislocation typically takes up to eight weeks to recover from.

How did Myles Garrett perform in the 2022-23 NFL season?

Since being drafted by the Cleveland Browns, Myles Garrett has grown from strength to strength, becoming one of the best defensive ends in the NFL. The 6' 4", 272 lbs tank of a player is deceptively fast for his size, and he puts up solid stats anytime he's fit.

This past season was no different. Myles Garrett remained one of the few bright spots in what was essentially a wasted season for the Browns. He put up a stat line of 60 total tackles (37 solo and 23 assisted), 16 sacks, and two forced fumbles in 16 games.

The Browns will be hoping that his dislocated toe is not serious and he can resume his activities in the coming days.
