Following Monday’s practice, Cleveland Browns star defensive end Myles Garrett was involved in a pretty terrifying car accident on Monday afternoon that left him hospitalized after his car flipped multiple times.
According to a report from Camryn Justice of News 5 Cleveland, Garrett was leaving the Browns’ practice facility in Berea, Ohio when he crashed his 2021 Porsche. According to Justice, the vehicle veered off the right side of the road and flipped several times before coming to a rest.
Both Garrett and his female passenger were taken to a nearby hospital and had non-life-threatening injuries. Both Garrett and his passenger were wearing seatbelts and neither alcohol nor drugs are considered a factor in the accident.
“Myles Garrett was involved in a one-car accident this afternoon after leaving the practice facility. He suffered non-life threatening injuries, was transported to a local hospital and we are in the process of gathering more information,” the Cleveland Browns said in a statement.
While it appears that Garrett and his passenger are going to be alright, it is still a scary situation and the NFL world had plenty to say about it.

No confirmation on any possible injuries #Browns DE Myles Garrett suffered.
Not life threatening is the key here.
