The Cleveland Browns will look to begin a strong finish to the 2024 season on Sunday when they face the New Orleans Saints.
At 2-7, the Browns' playoff chances are extremely slim after a disappointing start to the season prior to their Week 10 bye.
One of the players who certainly benefitted from the bye week is reigning Defensive Player of the Year Myles Garrett, who was dealing with multiple lower leg injuries in both of his legs throughout the first half of the season.
When speaking to media during the week, Garrett rated his current health on a scale of one-to-10.
"Six to an eight," Garrett said. "It wasn't a consistent six [back then]. It was up and down. It was definitely tough just because it was so inconsistent from play-to-play, day-to-day, with dealing with something or another. So glad I'm over the hill for the most part and could start playing some good football."
Garrett continued, addressing concerns about his long-term health following this season.
"Things are getting better, but still something to address in the offseason," said Garrett. "Not looking too far into the future with all that, we got a game coming here soon, but that is further down the road."
Although Garrett isn't fully-healthy, he has certainly made an impact. In Week 9 against the Los Angeles Chargers, Garrett recorded three sacks in a four play span. Heading into Week 11, he is tied for eighth in the league with seven sacks.
