Myles Garrett won’t play another snap in 2019 after the NFL moved swiftly and suspended the Cleveland Browns defensive end for the rest of this season, including the playoffs should the Browns make it that far.
Soon after the announcement came down of his suspension, Garrett would release an official statement:
It all went down with just seconds to spare on Thursday night when Garrett ripped the helmet off Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Mason Rudolph and clubbed him in the head with it.
He was ejected from the game.
In a statement, the NFL said, “Garrett violated unnecessary roughness and unsportsmanlike conduct rules, as well as fighting, removing the helmet of an opponent and using the helmet as a weapon.”
