Browns place NFL sack leader Myles Garrett on reserve/COVID-19 list

If the Philadelphia Eagles get to face the Cleveland Browns on Sunday without the NFL's sack leader, they'll be ecstatic.

Myles Garrett, who has missed practice all week due to illness, has been placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list, the Browns announced Friday.

Given the fact that Garrett has been sick all week, all signs are pointing to the star defensive end missing Sunday's game. It's very possible that he tested positive for COVID-19, which means he could miss more than just this weekend's game.

In nine games this season, Garrett has 9.5 sacks, 23 solo tackles, seven tackles for a loss, 14 quarterback hits and has forced four fumbles while recovering two.

He isn't the only Browns player to be placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list. Jack Conklin, Chris Hubbard, Andy Janovich and Cody Parkey also are on it.
