BEREA, Ohio (AP) — Cleveland Browns star defensive end Myles Garrett is being listed as questionable for Sunday’s game against Atlanta after suffering injuries when he lost control while speeding in his Porsche and crashing earlier this week.
Garrett hurt his shoulder and biceps and sustained cuts and bruises in the single-car wreck on Monday following practice. The All-Pro returned to the team’s facility Thursday but didn’t practice.
Browns coach Kevin Stefanski said Garrett’s status will be decided based on a medical evaluation.
Garrett is scheduled to speak with reporters Friday for the first time since his accident.
The Ohio State Highway Patrol said the 26-year-old Garrett was traveling at an “unsafe speed” when he went off the road, veered into a ditch and hit a fire hydrant before rolling his car several times.
A 23-year-old female passenger with Garrett also suffered minor injuries, was treated at a hospital and released.
Garrett told officers he thought was going 65 mph in a 45 mph zone before going off the hilly road near his home. Drugs and alcohol are not suspected, the highway patrol said in its post-crash report.
The accident destroyed Garrett’s car and left many of his teammates shaken.
The No. 1 overall pick in the 2017 NFL draft has been ticketed numerous times for speeding. He was cited on successive days last year for going 120 mph and paying a fine for an amended 99 mph violation in a 70 mph zone.
Garrett needs one sack to become Cleveland’s career leader. He has 61 1/2 sacks in 71 games.
The Browns are also listing Jadeveon Clowney as questionable for Sunday. He missed last week’s game with a sprained ankle.
