Myles Garrett - DL - Browns

Browns first round DE Myles Garrett has been diagnosed with a lateral foot sprain.
It's good news after Garrett got a second opinion from Dr. Robert Anderson this weekend. Garrett is in a walking boot, but shouldn't need more than six weeks to recover. The Browns expect Garrett to be ready for training camp.

good to have fears relieved. I hope it does not nag him all season though...

I thought a lateral sprain is the one where the put the screw in it for support?

Really? For a sprain? I just figured it was more about rest and keeping pressure off it. I guess the grade of it is important, but from the reports I've read, it looks like nothing more than a Grade 1.

This isn't as benign as it sounds:

yea stay off of it. ice it, and elevate above your heart. 2-3 weeks good to go.

Treatment

For milder midfoot sprains, initial treatment follows the RICE rule:

R est the joint.

I ce the injured area to reduce swelling.

C ompress the swelling with an elastic bandage.

E levate the injured area.

That is a little old - 2012

The newer acronym is to be NICER to the sprain
Same RICE but in a different order.
The added N= NSAIDS - ie advil, ibuprofen, naprosyn etc

Judging how Hue has been with injuries, I believe come camp if it's still nagging him in the slightest - he'll be pulled or limited big time in practice until he is 100% full go.

BY MARY KAY CABOT, CLEVELAND.COM
CLEVELAND, Ohio -- The Browns caught a break Saturday regarding Myles Garrett's injured left foot.

Two doctors diagnosed the No. 1 overall pick with a lateral foot sprain and he's expected to be ready for training camp, which begins in late July, the Browns announced Saturday.

Garrett was first diagnosed by head team physician Dr. James Voos of University Hospitals, and then as part of the team's process by specialist Dr. Robert Anderson of OrthoCarolina, who did not examine him in person but reviewed the exams.

It's good news for the Browns, who hoped that Garrett didn't sustain any major structural damage after he went down in minicamp on Wednesday afternoon.

As it is, a patient with Garrett's diagnosis can expect to be about 80 percent in four to six weeks, and fully recovered within three months, depending on the severity of the tear of the soft tissue in the foot, according an independent foot and ankle surgeon who has not examined Garrett.

Garrett is in a walking boot and will receive treatment over the next six weeks. He'll have to rest it for a while, but will gradually work his way back into shape for camp, which is set to begin on July 27.

Garrett will likely be eased back into action in camp and might not necessarily be ready to go by day one.


The team stated that the injury is a new sprain and not related to any previous injury. Garrett had been limited in organized team activities with what a source told cleveland.com was a sore foot that was briefly immobilized.

He also suffered a left high ankle sprain last season at Texas A&M that hampered him all season.

Garrett's injury came on the second day of minicamp on a would-be sack of Brock Osweiler late in the non-contact practice. Garrett underwent evaluation on Thursday, and was excused Friday morning from attending a youth clinic at FirstEnergy Stadium with his fellow rookies.

Garrett's friend and fellow rookie Larry Ogunjobi said Friday morning at the youth clinic that he was helping Garrett keep his spirits up.

"It sucks, especially when he's one of your good friends,'' Ogunjobi said. "I've known Myles for just a short period of time, but we've connected and you know how good of a person he is because he's humble and he's hungry and really wants to be great. So you know it sucks, but it's part of the game. It's part of the process and you know he's going to bounce back."

First-round tight end David Njoku agreed that Garrett has had a a great attitude.

ADVERTISING

"Myles is always a happy camper,'' he said. "So he's just fine."

Defensive coordinator Gregg Williams has been impressed with Garrett in the limited reps he's had since rookie minicamp last month.

"He's done a great job,'' said Williams. "It's still way early, but you guys are going to see a pretty good football player when he gets a chance to get out there and go. I've got a big smile on my face, I'm just waiting to let him show everybody before I talk about him.''

Defensive line coach Clyde Simmons is also eager for his return.

"He's everything we (expected)," Simmons said. "Myles is everything we expected."

Garrett signed his fully guaranteed four-year deal worth $30.4 million on May 19. It included a $20.258 million signing bonus and a club option for a fifth year.

The Browns drafted Garrett No. 1 overall after his stellar career at Texas A&M, where he had 32 1/2 sacks in three seasons, tops in the country from 2014-16.

Garrett had flashed some of that explosiveness in spring practices.

"(You see) a guy who's just ready to play,'' Ogunjobi said. "We work together when we do our position drills and stuff like that. You just see a guy who knows what he wants to do and how he wants to do it. He's a guy you can learn a lot from.''


Now, the Browns are hoping he'll pick up right where he left off, when he elicited a "Holy Smokes!" from Jackson for his speed around the edge.

I wonder how severe the tear is? I hope it doesn't take 3 months for a full recovery. I wonder what the odds are of injuring it again if you try to do too much too early?

No need to panic at this point ... this appearantly will heal ... here's the POTENTIAL issue ... i said POTENTIAL menZa's ...

Is he a china doll thats going to be out more than in ... although thats becoming a problem with a lot of these guys ... not just on our team ...

Lets hope this heals and we don't see him missing time due to injury for a few years ... lets face it .. no one in this sport at this level makes it through a year 100% healthy anymore ... lets just pray it doesn't keep him out ...

Also .... lets hope the feet don't become a problem ... so far no history of that but he's young ...

I don't know about the odds, but no doubt you can slow the process if you keep tweaking it.

Just go slow through camp and be ready to go Sept. 10th. Tape that sucker with about 2 lbs of tape before every practice.

He needs to be out smacking Ben around on the Opener..Not sure if I have the patience to wait until December 31st.

He ran his mouth about going after Ben..Injured or not..he has to keep his word... or stfu if ya can't stay healthy.

Serious Question, is a sprain the same as a tear?

Can we just hand out 300HP Kawasaki Ninja's to the other Browns 1st rd picks and get this over with before camp?

Not sure where to put this either ...

Corey Coleman - WR - Browns

Corey Coleman appears to have avoided charges in his December assault case.
Coleman's brother and another man have been charged on the recommendation of a grand jury. Authorities caution that the matter remains under investigation, but it's obviously good news that Coleman has remained in the clear so far. "Corey has cooperated with the authorities," Coleman's attorney said. "He continues to cooperate with the authorities. And he’s maintained he was not involved in a physical altercation at that incident whatsoever." Coleman ultimately seems likely to avoid trouble in the matter.

good news!

So hard finding time, space and a place for good Browns news on this board . . . .

Still, good news is good news. Just have to adjust! LOLetc

Lots of tonnage and the guy, looks like foot is at least STRONG....hope he doesn't over do it....GO Browns!!!

It was a lateral sprain...I'll feel better when he's on the field moving side to side, backpedalling and shifting without issues. The strength is definitely there.

I'm sure he will be wearing some kind of ankle support. It will only help if he is.

I agree with you on that but if I am coach I just have him rush every down and don't ask him to drop into coverage. Let him do what he does best. I do wish he was taking it easier though to let himself heal up more. Would be great if he did Yoga with Joe to keep himself more flexible.

I remember reading at the end of OTAs a comment that the trainers have determined that they have to tape his feet/ankle differently than they were previously. Interesting.
