Cleveland Browns star defensive end Myles Garrett was involved in a single-car crash after leaving practice on Monday.
Garrett suffered non-life-threatening injuries and was taken to a local hospital, the Browns confirmed to Fox News Digital. The team said it was in the process of gathering more information.
The Ohio State Highway Patrol told Fox News Digital that it’s currently investigating the single vehicle, rollover, injury crash in Sharon Township. Troopers were sent to the scene near State Road and Ridgewood Road where they found Garrett’s gray 2021 Porsche Turbo S off the right side of the road with rollover damage.
A female passenger was also in the car and taken with Garrett to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries as well. Both passengers had seatbelts on at the time of the crash.
There was no impairment from drugs or alcohol suspected in the crash, police said.

The status of Garrett for next week’s game against the Atlanta Falcons is uncertain at this time, but his agent, Nicole Lynn, released a statement saying that he is “alert and responsive.” He is also expected to be released from the hospital Monday night, per ESPN.

In Week 3, Garrett had two combined tackles and one quarterback hit in the win over the Pittsburgh Steelers, 29-17.
