Browns Announce Myles Garrett News Ahead of Steelers Game

Originally posted on Athlon Sports | By Angelo Guinhawa | Last updated Oct 8, 2025 6:15 PM ET

The Cleveland Browns are 1-4 on the season and just underwent a big change after they traded veteran quarterback Joe Flacco to the Cincinnati Bengals. Now, ahead of their Week 6 game against the Pittsburgh Steelers, they are facing some issues with their roster.

On Wednesday, the Browns released their injury/participation report for their latest practice. One player (Shelby Harris) did not participate due to rest, while nine had limited participation due to various reasons.

Among the players who were limited was Cleveland defensive star Myles Garrett, who is still nursing a nagging ankle injury.

It's worth noting that Garrett missed a practice and was limited in two leading up to their Week 5 game against the Minnesota Vikings. With that said, there were concerns about his availability for the contest.

The good news is that Garrett was able to play, recording three tackles in the 21-17 Cleveland loss.

Sure enough, Garrett's condition will be worth monitoring heading into the showdown with Aaron Rodgers and the Steelers.

Garrett's defense remains a big weapon on a Browns team that is still figuring out its offense and quarterback of the future. The one-time Defensive Player of the Year already has 21 combined tackles, eight tackles for loss, eight QB hits and four sacks.

Even Rodgers himself admitted that the Steelers are wary of Garrett, whom he described as "one of the few players in the league" that "you game plan for and you watch the film," per 93.7 The Fan.

The Browns really need Garrett to be at 100% if they want to beat the Steelers in Week 6. If he continues to be bothered by his ankle injury, it could spell trouble for the team once again.
