We are all lucky to still have Myles Garrett with us, because things certainly could have ended differently for the Cleveland Browns star following his single-vehicle car crash earlier this week.
According to the reports, Garrett and a female passenger were transported to a local hospital after the Pro Bowl defensive end flipped his Porsche several times on Monday.
Garrett has since been diagnosed with a sprained shoulder and strained bicep. He is currently listed as questionable to play in Sunday’s game against the Atlanta Falcons.
The Browns star spoke to the media for the first time since his accident on Friday, telling them that he feels “grateful to be here.’

He also went on to say that it was “definitely a wake up call” and that he’s going to try to be “smart overall when driving” going forward.
Let’s hope Garrett is serious about these comments and he changes his ways on the road — not only for the sake of his own health and well-being, but also for those who he’s sharing the road with on a daily basis.
Garrett has a history of erratic driving, so this wake up call could turn out to be a life-saver.
