According to Myles Garrett, the Cleveland Browns’ record-breaking amount of injuries from the previous season prevented the team from making its first-ever trip to the Super Bowl.
On Friday, February 9, the current Defensive Player of the Year made an appearance on ESPN’s First Take. Stephen A. Smith questioned him about what might have changed if the Browns’ already remarkable regular-season run hadn’t been hampered by the injuries to so many important players.
“I believe there’s no reason we shouldn’t play this Sunday if we stay healthy. And, you know, it aches every time I consider the serious injuries we had, including those sustained by [Deshaun Watson], [Nick] Chubb, and others,” Garrett remarked. However, I’m proud of the men that were present. I’m happy with the camaraderie we developed from training camp until the end of the season, despite all of the hardships and adversities we faced. The way those guys came together was amazing.
