Working through hip issue
Garrett (hip) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.
Analysis: The hip injury appears to be a new issue for the veteran pass rusher, given that he wasn't listed on Wednesday's injury report. Garrett's practice participation Friday will shed light on his chances of playing Sunday against the Bengals, when he'll look to log one more sack to break the NFL's single-season record.

No sacks versus Pittsburgh
Garrett recorded one solo tackle in Cleveland's 13-6 win over Pittsburgh on Sunday.
Analysis: The Steelers pulled out all the stops against Garrett and largely kept him off the stat sheet, as he remains one sack shy of the single-season record. In two games against Pittsburgh this season, Garrett has just three tackles (one solo) and zero sacks. He'll get a Week 18 date with the Bengals to try and secure the elusive final sack. As it stands right now, Garrett has 59 tackles (42 solo), including 22.0 sacks, three forced fumbles and one pass breakup across 16 starts this season.

Moves closer to sack record
Garrett record 0.5 sacks in Sunday's 23-20 loss to the Bills in Week 16.
Analysis: The half-sack was the only tackle on which Garret was involved, but it moved him one step closer to the season record for sacks. He's up to 22.0 and needs another 1.0 sacks over the final two games to establish a new NFL season high. That pursuit will be one of the few on-field areas of interest as the Browns finish out a second consecutive double-digit loss season.

Inches closer to sacks record
Garrett logged four tackles, including 1.5 sacks, in a Week 15 loss to Chicago.
Analysis: The Browns were blown out Sunday, but Garrett continued his dominant campaign. He notched a solo sack of Caleb Williams in the second quarter and added a split sack early in the fourth. Garrett has at least 1.0 sacks in eight straight games and has registered a mind-blowing 17.5 sacks over that span. With 21.5 sacks on the season, he's just 1.0 sacks short of tying the all-time NFL single season record that's shared by Michael Strahan and T.J. Watt.

Reaches hallowed 20-sack mark
Garrett recorded four tackles (all solo), including 1.0 sacks, and a defensed pass in Sunday's Week 15 loss to Tennessee.
Analysis: Garrett's sack came on a nine-yard takedown of Cam Ward late in the second quarter. That put Garrett in the history books as the 13th NFL player since sacks became an official stat to reach the 20-sack mark in a regular season. With four games remaining in the campaign, the 2023 Defensive Player of the Year has an excellent chance of reaching and surpassing the all-time NFL single-season record of 22.5 sacks, which was established by Michael Strahan in 2001 and matched by T.J. Watt in 2021.…read more

Maintains sack streak
Garrett logged five tackles and 1.0 sacks in Sunday's 26-8 loss to San Francisco in Week 13.
Analysis: Garrett snuffed out a 49ers possession, sacking Brock Purdy on a third-and-4 at the Cleveland 41-yard line and forced San Francisco to punt. Unfortunately, the ensuing punt was muffed and recovered by the Niners, who scored to make it a two-touchdown deficit. That is a microcosm of the Browns' season: the defense holds strong but gets little help from the offense or special teams. Garrett has registered sacks in six straight games (15.0) and stands at 19.0 for the season with five games…read more

No letting up in win
Garrett recorded five tackles, including 3.0 sacks, and forced two fumbles in Sunday's 24-10 win over the Raiders in Week 12.
Analysis: Garrett led a dominating defense, which sacked Geno Smith 10 times. He's recorded sacks in five consecutive games, amassing 14.0 during that stretch. Since the sack became an official stat in 1982, no player has ever had more than 12.0 during a five-game stretch, per Zac Jackson of The Athletic. Garrett's season total sits at a 18.0 (11 games), which breaks his own franchise record of 16.0 set in both 2021 and 2022.

Monster season continues
Garrett recorded five total tackles (all solo), including 4.0 sacks, in Sunday's 23-16 loss to the Ravens.
Analysis: After going without a sack from Week 4 through Week 6, Garrett has erupted for 11.0 sacks over the Browns' last four games. The 29-year-old surpassed Brian Burns and now leads the NFL with 15.0 sacks through 10 appearances this season, needing just 1.5 more in Cleveland's final seven games to set a new personal best. Expect Garrett to continue wreaking havoc on opposing quarterbacks in the Week 12 matchup against the Raiders.

He's once again among the leading contenders for Defensive Player of the Year honors.

Garrett had six tackles, including 5.0 sacks, and a forced fumble in Sunday's 32-13 loss to New England in Week 8.
Analysis: Garrett was a wrecking ball for the Browns defense and notched three of his sacks in the red zone. The 5.0 sacks were a new career best for the edge rusher and set a franchise record for most sacks in one game.

Garrett logged two tackles in Cleveland's loss versus the Steelers on Sunday.
Analysis: Garrett got off to a hot start this season but has struggled as of late, as he hasn't recorded a sack since the team's Week 3 win over the Packers. The 29-year-old will look to have a bounce-back performance Week 7 versus the Dolphins.

Remaining in CLE on record deal
Garrett and the Browns agreed Sunday on a contract extension that averages $40 million per year and includes $123.5 million in guaranteed salary, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

The two sides now have agreed upon a massive deal that will make Garrett the highest-paid non-quarterback in NFL history.

Both sides dug in on stances
The Browns remain unwilling to trade Garrett, with team owner Jimmy Haslam declining to speak to the pass rusher after his recent trade request, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: The report adds that Garrett is "preparing to miss games" if he isn't traded, which isn't surprising given that the team won't even consider his trade request. Haslam's refusal to speak with Garrett, if accurate, only figures to make matters worse. This situation could get ugly, as Garrett's trade request seemingly is a product of frustration with the team/organization, not just an effort to get an extension or raise.

Coach Kevin Stefanski said Wednesday he "doesn't see" Garrett (foot/Achilles/thigh), who is not practicing, being ruled out for Sunday's road matchup against the Raiders, Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Garrett is listed as a nonparticipant Wednesday due to a trio of injuries, Zac Jackson of The Athletic reports. The star edge rusher underwent an MRI earlier this week and the results were clean, and Stefanski has also labeled him "day-to-day." Garrett concluded Cleveland's 21-15 loss to the Giants with just one tackle while playing a season-low 56 percent of defensive snaps. He'll have two more chances to get back on the practice field ahead of Sunday's game in Las Vegas.

MRI comes back clean
Garrett (foot/ankle) underwent an MRI on Monday that came back clean, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: Garrett's injuries didn't appear to be too serious after head coach Kevin Stefanski labeled his star edge rusher as "day-to-day" earlier Monday, but the clean MRI offers some additional peace of mind. Though Garrett's practice time could be limited while he manages the foot and ankle injuries, the expectation seems to be that he'll be ready to play Sunday versus the Raiders.

Dealing with multiple injuries
Head coach Kevin Stefanski said Monday that Garrett (foot/leg) is day-to-day, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.
Analysis: Garrett underwent an MRI on Monday, according to Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram, and is dealing with multiple leg and foot injuries. However, the Texas A&M product wasn't willing to divulge much about the results. Considering Stefanski was willing to label Garrett as day-to-day, it doesn't seem like anything too serious was discovered. More clarity on his recovery timeline should come throughout the week ahead of the Browns' matchup against the Raiders on Sunday.

Getting MRI on foot
Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski said after Sunday's 21-15 loss to the Giants that Garrett will undergo an MRI on his right foot during the upcoming week, Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Garrett entered Sunday's game nursing injuries to both feet, and now the Browns will have him get imaging done to determine the severity. Garrett recorded a team-best three quarterback hits in the loss to the Giants but finished with just one solo tackle. The 2023 Defensive Player of the Year has six tackles, two sacks and two forced fumbles through three contests.

Plans to play through foot injury
Garrett told reporters following Friday's practice that his foot injury "is something that I'll probably have to deal with for however long I end up playing. So it's about managing that and playing through it," Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Garrett has been managing a foot injury he sustained in Week 2 against the Jaguars. While he was a DNP on Wednesday and Thursday, he returned to practice Friday and doesn't have an injury designation ahead of Sunday's game against the Giants. Garrett noted Friday that surgery to fix the issue has been discussed, but that wouldn't occur until the offseason and his plan is to manage the injury and hope the pain subsides in the coming weeks.

Garrett (foot) didn't practice Wednesday, Chris Easterling of the Akron Beacon Journal reports.
Analysis: Garrett played through a foot injury during Cleveland's Week 2 contest and told reporters that he doesn't "feel great" after the win, so it's no surprise he's absent from Wednesday's practice. His practice participation Thursday and Friday will provide a better indication of his availability for Week 3, though Garrett will likely play through the injury regardless.

Playing through foot injury
Garrett told reporters after Sunday's 18-13 win over the Jaguars that his foot doesn't "feel great," but he will play through it, Zac Jackson of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Garrett popped up on the Browns' injury report Thursday as a DNP, and he was limited during Friday's practice session. He finished Sunday's game with three solo tackles, including 1.0 sacks, and one forced fumble. Garrett will likely be held out or limited during practices leading up to Week 3 against the Giants, but the expectation is that the 2017 first-round pick will play as long as his foot injury doesn't get worse.

Gets sack in defeat
Garrett recorded two solo tackles, including 1.0 sacks, during Cleveland's 33-17 loss to the Cowboys on Sunday.
Analysis: The 2023 NFL Defensive Player of the Yea has finished with double-digit sacks in each of the last six regular seasons. While his overall output was low Sunday, it wasn't surprising to see Garrett start the season by bringing down Dak Prescott on one occasion. Garrett will look to build his overall production at the expense of Trevor Lawrence and the Jaguars in a Week 2 road matchup.

Analysis: Garrett tweaked his hamstring during minicamp in mid-June and had been sidelined for the early part of training camp.

Analysis: Garret still may not be 100 percent recovered from the injury to his hamstring suffered during minicamp in June.

Tweaks hamstring
Coach Kevin Stefanski said Thursday that Garrett (hamstring) "will be fine" after tweaking something during a minicamp drill, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.
Analysis: Garrett's injury appears minor and shouldn't impede his readiness for the start of training camp late July, but due to the nature of soft tissue injuries, the situation should nonetheless be monitored. While he was helped off the field on a cart, Cabot reports that Garrett could have walked off under his own strength. The reigning Defensive Player of the Year, Garrett has posted six straight seasons with double-digit sacks, and health permitting, a seventh should be right around the corner.

Garrett (shoulder) won't practice Wednesday, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.
Analysis: Head coach Kevin Stefanski labeled Garrett as day-to-day earlier in the week, but the star defensive end will sit out the Browns' first Week 13 session while he recovers from the left shoulder injury he sustained in this past Sunday's loss to Denver. If he can't get back on the practice field Thursday or Friday, Garrett's chances of playing this Sunday versus the Rams would diminish.

Set for scans on injured shoulder
Garrett said after Sunday's 29-12 loss to Denver that he felt something pop in his left shoulder during the game, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports. Garrett's arm was in a sling after the game, and he intends to get scans to determine the severity of the injury, per Jake Trotter of ESPN.com.
Analysis: Garrett tried to play through the injury after getting hurt against the Broncos, but he was struggling to move the arm and finished the game with just two solo tackles (one tackle for loss) and one pass defensed. Considering Garrett has 13.0 sacks through 11 games and is among the leading candidates to win Defensive Player of the Year, it would be a major blow to Cleveland's defense if he's forced to miss any additional time as a result of this injury. The Browns face the Rams in Week 13.

Adds to DPOY resume
Garrett recorded nine tackles (seven solo), two sacks, two forced fumbles, one pass breakup and a blocked kick in Sunday's 39-38 win at the Colts.
Analysis: Garrett was the author of one of the most dominant individual performances of the season and was instrumental in Cleveland picking up its fourth win of the season. If the two strip sacks -- one of which was recovered in the end zone for a touchdown -- weren't enough, Garrett jumped over the offensive line early in the second quarter to block a 60-yard field-goal attempt that would have given Indianapolis the lead. He's now up to 7.5 sacks and three forced fumbles through six games this season.

Garrett made seven tackles, including a sack, two tackles for loss and two quarterback hits in a 28-14 loss to the Steelers in Week 18.
Analysis: The sack was Garrett's 16th, tying the personal mark for sacks in a single season he set in 2021. He played through injury but only missed one game following his involvement in an automobile accident leading up to Week 4. It was a shoulder injury and lingered a bit, but Garrett remained productive. He's been available for 33 of 34 games the last two years, and, at age 26 next season, Garrett is still in his prime and should continue to be a dominant presence.

Analysis: After playing a season-low 36 defensive snaps in Week 16 against the Saints, Garrett ramped up to 52 snaps (75 percent) this past weekend versus Washington and logged the most tackles he's had in a game since Week 4 of his sophomore campaign. The All-Pro defensive end's 53 stops on the year now accounts for a new career high in that department, and if he's able to register one sack in the Browns' regular-season finale versus Pittsburgh, he'd then have back-to-back seasons with 16 sacks.

Records sack in loss
Garrett recorded four tackles and one sack in Sunday's 23-20 loss to Baltimore in Week 7.
Analysis: Garrett is getting back to being a disruptor after missing one game due to a shoulder injury as a result of an automobile accident. That shoulder forced him to leave last week's loss to New England early, but he was in for 80 percent of the defensive snaps Sunday. Garrett has three sacks over the last two weeks and six for the season.

Questionable but expected to play
Garrett (shoulder) is questionable for Sunday's wild-card round game against the Steelers, Andrew Gribble of the Browns' official site reports.
Analysis: While Garrett's officially listed as questionable, coach Kevin Stefanski said Friday that he's confident Garrett will be able to play, per Scott Petrak of The Chronicle-Telegram. The first overall pick in the 2017 draft is arguably the most important player on Cleveland's defense, as his 12 sacks this year marked his third straight campaign with a double-digit total in the category.

Has lingering COVID effects
Garrett admitted he's still feeling the effects of COVID-19 which caused him to miss two games, Mary Kay Cabot of the Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.
Analysis: Garrett said he continues breathing treatments over the days since his return two weeks ago against Tennessee. The edge rusher was visibly winded at times and played just 72 percent of the snaps (52 of 72) against the Titans before getting up to 90 percent (54 of 60) against the Ravens last week.

Analysis: Garrett came off the reserve/COVID-19 list last week after missing two games and played 52 of 72 snaps (72 percent). Over the previous eight games in which the edge rusher has been available for the entire game, Garrett averaged 83 percent of the snaps. Woods expects to see normal usage in his second week back. "This week, he'll be in better shape. He'll have more practices under his belt and should be good to go," said Woods. Garrett is tied for third in the NFL with 10.5 sacks.

Garrett was activated off the reserve/COVID-19 list Tuesday.
Analysis: After missing the previous two games due to COVID-19, the star defensive end is expected to return Week 13. The 24-year-old was leading the league in sacks prior to his illness and will serve as a strong asset to the Browns defense as the team takes on the Titans' impressive offense.

Expected to return Week 13
Coach Kevin Stefanski said Monday that he expects Garrett (illness) to be activated from the reserve/COVID-19 list this week, Jake Trotter of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Garrett has missed the team's last two games while on the reserve list. This is an encouraging development, and his contributions to the pass rush would help cover some of the blemishes of playing without No. 1 cornerback Denzel Ward (calf). Garrett was enjoying a monster season prior to his hiatus, recording 31 tackles, 9.5 sacks, four forced fumbles and two fumble recoveries through nine games.

Coach Kevin Stefanski said Monday that Garrett (illness) won't return for the Week 12 matchup against Jacksonville, Nate Ulrich of the Akron Beacon Journal reports.
Analysis: Garrett will remain in the league's COVID-19 protocol through Week 12 because the protocol requires 10 days away from the team, and his first positive test appears to have been last Friday. The 24-year-old defensive end will eye a return Week 13 against the Titans. Porter Gustin is expected to start at defensive end until Garrett returns, but Adrian Clayborn should handle a considerable workload as well.

Analysis: Garrett was coming off a Week 8 knee injury but looked in fine form Sunday after getting the bye week to recover. He once again had a key stop that helped swing the game to the Browns.

Coach Kevin Stefanski said Garrett (knee) has no structural issues after undergoing an MRI on Monday, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.
Analysis: Stefanski relayed after Sunday's loss to the Raiders that the 24-year-old was dealing with knee pain, but he should be able to play after the Browns' bye this week. Garrett entered the contest with an ankle issue and was limited to 46 percent of defensive snaps due to the injuries, but he'll now have some extra time to recover before the Week 10 matchup with Houston.

Coach Kevin Stefanski said that Garrett will have an MRI on Monday to determine the severity of a knee injury he suffered in the second quarter of Sunday's loss to the Raiders, Jake Trotter of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Garrett battled an ankle injury during the practice week, but he appeared ready to handle his normal workload Sunday. Stefanski relayed that Garrett's knee injury was very painful but isn't related to his ankle injury. Although his snap count was limited following the injury, Garrett finished the game and contributed on clear passing downs. That bodes well for Garrett's availability following the Week 9 bye, but Monday's MRI will provide more detail on the nature of his injury.

Ready to rock
Garrett (ankle) does not have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Raiders, Nate Ulrich of the Akron Beacon Journal reports.
Analysis: Garrett practiced on a limited basis Friday after having been held out Wednesday and Thursday, all while nursing a tweaked ankle sustained Week 7. His complete lack of an injury designation implies that the issue won't hold him back at all Sunday. Garrett is in the midst of a monstrous season, as he already has nine sacks and four forced fumbles through seven games. He'll work to keep up his momentum -- and potential Defensive Player of the Year candidacy -- versus Las Vegas.

Missing from practice
Garrett isn't practicing Wednesday due to an ankle injury, but coach Kevin Stefanski said the team is "just being cautious" with the star pass rusher, Scott Petrak of The Chronicle-Telegram reports.
Analysis: Stefanski's comments suggest there's little cause for concern here, though seeing Garrett back out at practice Thursday would help put any doubts about his status for Sunday's game against the Raiders to rest. With nine sacks through seven games, Garrett has thus far justified the Browns' decision to hand him a five-year, $125 million extension this offseason.

Extends sack streak
Garrett recorded three tackles, two sacks and forced a fumble in Sunday's 37-34 win over the Bengals.
Analysis: Garrett extended his sack streak to six games and has nine for the season. That moves him ahead of the Rams' Aaron Donald, who has 7.5 entering Monday's game against the Bears. He also had three quarterback pressures, but Garrett's more than just a nuisance to quarterbacks. He's also had a nose for the ball in 2020 with four forced fumbles and two fumble recoveries.

Despite this fact, Garrett didn't take part in a pass-rush drill in which other D-linemen weaved through heavy bags.

Suffers hamstring injury
Garrett recently sustained a hamstring injury, but head coach Kevin Stefanski is "not overly concerned" about it, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.
Analysis: Stafanski also called it a tweak, so it doesn't appear to be a severe injury that would impact his availability for the season opener against Baltimore on Sept. 13. It's worth keeping an eye on Garrett's progress through training camp, and the Browns likely won't rush him back after signing the defensive end to a five-year, $125 million deal in July.

Garrett signed a five-year, $125 million contract extension Wednesday, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.
Analysis: The deal locks up Garrett through the 2026 season. In Garrett, the Browns have one of the more disruptive edge rushers in the NFL. He finished with 10 sacks over 10 games in 2019 before being suspended for the final six games following an on-field incident in Pittsburgh.

Garrett met with NFL commissioner Roger Goodell on Monday to discuss a possible reinstatement from his indefinite suspension, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.
Analysis: While there's still no timeline for the decision, we should have clarity soon on how long Garrett's ban will last. The 24-year-old defensive end already sat out the final six games of the 2019 season for swinging a helmet at Mason Rudolph's head in Week 11.

Suspended for remainder of season
The NFL announced in a statement Friday that Garrett has been suspended indefinitely, "at a minimum for the remainder of the regular season and postseason."
Analysis: Garrett will face a stiff punishment, both in terms of games and dollars, as a result of his actions near the end of Thursday's win over the Steelers. As a result, the Browns will be without their top defensive player for the rest of the year, barring a successful appeal by Garrett's side.

Likely facing suspension
Garrett was ejected on the final drive of the Browns' 21-7 win over the Steelers on Thursday after his involvement in a brawl. He ripped off the helmet of Pittsburgh quarterback Mason Rudolph during a scuffle and then swung the helmet and hit Rudolph in the head. Garrett is likely to face a suspension for his actions, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.
Analysis: Expect the NFL to levy punishment on Garrett within the next few days, with the defensive end potentially in line to miss the rest of the season for hitting an unprotected player in the head. Steelers center Maurkice Pouncey and Browns defensive tackle Larry Ogunjobi were also ejected in the ensuing scuffle.

Added to injury report
Garrett was added to Friday's injury report with a knee injury, but he was a full participant and is expected to play Week 10 against the Bills, Mary Kay Cabot of the Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.
Analysis: Garrett, who ranks second in the league with 10 sacks, should be an IDP candidate against Buffalo, which ranks 13th in sacks allowed with 22 over eight games. As an added incentive to roll with Garrett, he'll be tracking quarterback Josh Allen, who is tied for second in fumbles (10) and has lost three of them.
