CLEVELAND — Cleveland Browns defensive end Myles Garrett has been released from the hospital following a single-car crash Monday afternoon, a source tells News 5.

Garrett's agent confirmed last night that he did not suffer any broken bones in the crash. However, a source has confirmed to News 5 that he has sustained a shoulder sprain and strained biceps.

In addition to Garrett's sprain and strain, he has minor lacerations and bumps and bruises to various body parts, the Browns said in a statement. The statement goes on to say that he has cleared concussion protocol. He will be evaluated by team doctors throughout the week to determine whether he can play on Sunday in Atlanta.

Garrett attended practice in Berea on Monday morning. After he left the facility, seemingly on his way home, Garrett crashed his 2021 Porsche near Wadsworth while driving south on State Road near Sharon Copley Road. There was a female passenger in the car, according to OSHP.
