MYLES GARRETT

It's not often you see a player talk about a star teammate the way Jadeveon Clowney did about Myles Garrett. Last week Clowney stated that the Cleveland Browns favored Garrett, forcing him to move around the defense to accommodate Garrett, and that "It's just B.S., and I don't have time for it." Clowney did the predictable thing this week, apologizing but also saying his comments were taken out of context. "As a son and parent I want to fully apologize to anyone I offended, specifically Myles Garrett and his family," Clowney said, according to the Associated Press. I'm doing this because I love the game, but keep [doing things like that] and making me not love the game."

“As a son and parent I want to fully apologize to anyone I offended, specifically Myles Garrett and his family,” Clowney said. Following Clowney's comments, Browns defensive line coach Chris Kiffin revealed that the three-time Pro Bowler refused to refused to play on first or second down on Oct. 23 against Baltimore. Clowney was upset Cleveland had changed its game plan in order to give Garrett more favorable matchups. He also said he didn't take Clowney's comments personally, but added he won't play with anyone who doesn't want to be in Cleveland. Go where you feel like you’re wanted, you’re loved and you can be appreciated.”___AP NFL: https://apnews.com/hub/nfl and https://twitter.com/AP_NFLCopyright 2023 The Associated Press.

Jadeveon Clowney says he has apologized to Browns star Myles Garrett more than a week after criticizing Cleveland’s organization and coaching staff.

Cleveland Browns star Myles Garrett responded to the news that Jadeveon Clowney was sent home Friday after he was critical of the organization in an interview.

Following comments Jadeveon Clowney made to local media criticizing the Browns and their coaching staff, the team has sent the former No. 1 overall pick home.

Jadeveon Clowney appears to be on his way out of Cleveland, and it seems to be because of fellow defensive end Myles Garrett. Clowney told Cleveland.com on Thursday that he was "95% sure" that he wouldn't sign with the Browns again this offseason due largely to how the franchise is comparing him to Garrett. While Clowney insisted that he doesn’t have any personal issues with Garrett, this issue has apparently been brewing for a while. Before the Browns fell to the Ravens in October, Clowney learned that he’d be swapping sides with Garrett. But they're also going to be positions where I'm going to get double-teamed.

BEREA, Ohio — (AP) — Jadeveon Clowney's last move with the Cleveland Browns happened off the field — a public bashing born of frustration and disappointment. Clowney further claimed the Browns have given four-time Pro Bowl defensive end Myles Garrett preferential treatment and were focused only on getting him to the Hall of Fame. “This is our team,” Garrett said. But I wish he would’ve handled a little bit differently.”Garrett said his relationship with Clowney remains “cordial” and he didn’t take the comments to heart. Clowney didn't see it that way.

BEREA, Ohio — (AP) — Cleveland Browns defensive end Jadeveon Clowney was sent home Friday before practice and will likely not play in Sunday's season finale in Pittsburgh after he made critical comments about the team. Clowney also said the Browns are giving Pro Bowl defensive end Myles Garrett preferential treatment and were focused only on getting him to the Hall of Fame. The drama surrounding Clowney is similar to last season's messy situation with wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr., who was suspended by the Browns and eventually traded after weeks of drama. Clowney missed four games this season because of an ankle injury and concussion. He only has two sacks after recording nine last season and teaming with Garrett to give the Browns one of the NFL's most feared pass rushes.

Cleveland Browns defensive end Jadeveon Clowney was sent home Friday before practice and will likely not play in Sunday's season finale in Pittsburgh after he made critical comments about the team. Coach Kevin Stefanski will address the media following practice. Clowney, who is in his second season with the Browns, said in an interview Thursday with cleveland.com that he didn't feel appreciated and was “95% sure" he wasn't coming back for a third season.

Browns Pro Bowl defensive end Myles Garrett was benched for the start of Saturday's loss to New Orleans by coach Kevin Stefanski for an unspecified team violation, the latest twist in an odd season for the star. Garrett wasn't on the field for the Saints' first series, and Stefanski revealed Monday that it was because he was being disciplined. "Just a team thing,” Stefanski said during a Zoom call, without elaborating.

There's nothing left for the Cleveland Browns to accomplish this season, another failed one in a long line of malfunctions for one of the NFL's most inept franchises. “My decision,” Stefanski said. Stefanski declined to elaborate on Garrett's violation, but that Stefanski had to bench his best player for any time with the Browns still mathematically alive in the playoff chase underscores the team's sorry state.

Browns star defensive end Myles Garrett was out sick and running back Nick Chubb was kept out of practice with a foot injury Tuesday as Cleveland began preparing for Saturday's game against New Orleans — and bone-chilling weather. Chubb, who has 1,252 yards and 12 touchdowns, was at the facility and spoke to reporters before being ruled out for practice. Coach Kevin Stefanski said Chubb suffered an injury in last week's 13-3 win over Baltimore.

Deshaun Watson may be a bit rusty when he plays his first game in nearly two years this weekend.

Nick Chubb scored on a 3-yard touchdown run with 19 seconds left in overtime and Cleveland rallied to stun Tom Brady and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers 23-17 in Browns quarterback Jacoby Brissett’s final start before Deshaun Watson returns from his suspension.

The Browns forced OT on tight end David Njoku's remarkable, one-handed TD catch with 32 seconds left in regulation. Brady threw two touchdown passes, but couldn't get anything going in the 10-minute OT as the Bucs (5-6) were unable to keep their momentum going following a bye. Led by All-Pro end Myles Garrett, who had two sacks, the Browns held Tampa Bay without a point on its final seven possessions. It was the 638th TD pass for Brady, and No. Browns: Watson plays his first game in 700 days against the Texans, who drafted him in 2017.

The NFL insists its drug tests are random, but Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver A.J. So when Brown woke up on Monday and discovered that he had been tapped for a drug test by the NFL, it definitely didn't feel random. Of course, this isn't the first time the NFL has "randomly" hit recently successful players with a drug test. A few days later, he woke up to an NFL test text on his phone. The @NFL is drug testing me today 😂😂😂😂😂😂 you can’t make this up!

Rookie backup Bailey Zappe threw for 309 yards and two touchdowns in his third NFL game, Bill Belichick tied George Halas for second on the all-time list with his 324th victory, and the New England Patriots buried the Cleveland Browns 38-15.

Myles Garrett will take the field on Sunday, less than two weeks after he was injured in a serious car crash , the Cleveland Browns confirmed on Friday. The defensive end was officially removed from their injury report after his crash last month, which left him with a shoulder and bicep injury and kept him out of last week’s loss to the Atlanta Falcons. He sustained a shoulder sprain, bicep strain and minor lacerations, bumps and bruises in the crash. Garrett was reportedly driving 65 mph in a 45 mph zone , and was cited for speeding and failing to control his vehicle. "I gotta be smart overall with driving," Garrett said , adding that the incident was "a hell of an event."

BEREA, Ohio — (AP) — Cleveland Browns star defensive end Myles Garrett returned to practice Wednesday for the first time since being injured in a car accident last week, when he lost control of his Porsche while speeding. The All-Pro veered off a road near his home following practice on Sept. 26, struck a fire hydrant and flipped his car several times. Without Garrett and defensive end Jadeveon Clowney, who missed his second game in a row with an ankle injury, the Browns lacked a strong pass rush Sunday against the Falcons. While Garrett returned, Clowney continued to be sidelined. The Browns also said All-Pro guard Joel Bitonio (biceps/rest), tight end Harrison Bryant (illness), wide receiver Amari Cooper (rest) and tight end David Njoku (knee/rest) are not practicing.

CLEVELAND — (AP) — Myles Garrett will not play in Sunday's game against Atlanta, giving the Browns star defensive end more time to recover from multiple injuries suffered when he crashed his Porsche earlier in the week. Garrett veered into a ditch, hit a fire hydrant and flipped his car several times on Monday after practice. The Browns listed him as questionable Friday before downgrading the 26-year-old to out on Saturday before flying to Georgia to take on the Falcons. Garrett was cited by the Ohio Highway Patrol for losing control of his car. In a post-crash report, the highway patrol said Garrett was driving at an “unsafe speed for the road being traveled.”The highway patrol ruled out alcohol, drugs or distracted driving as causes for the accident.

CINCINNATI — (AP) — A brawl between the Cincinnati Bengals and Los Angeles Rams put an early end to their joint practice session Thursday, with the Rams' Aaron Donald repeatedly swinging a helmet at Bengals players before getting thrown to the ground. Players threw fists and helmets during scuffles leading up to a final free-for-all with Donald, a defensive lineman, getting thrown to the ground after swinging a helmet. On the next play, Collins scuffled with linebacker Leonard Floyd, ripping off the defender's helmet and tossing it. The Bengals and Rams, who played in the Super Bowl in February, face each other in the final preseason game on Saturday night in Cincinnati. In 2019, the Browns' Myles Garrett was suspended six games for using his helmet to smash Steelers quarterback Mason Rudolph over the head during a regular-season game.
