Cleveland Browns star Myles Garrett will miss Sunday’s game in Atlanta after being in a single car accident this week.
Garrett was labeled as questionable by the Browns before eventually being demoted to Saturday.
The former Texas A&M star crashed his Porsche on Monday and has not practiced since. Garrett said Friday that he was willing to play his part if necessary.
“If it’s up to me, I’d love to go,” he told reporters on Friday. “That’s just my competitive spirit and my nature.
“Physically we have to judge that, towards the game… That’s a decision we’ll make a little closer to game time.”

“Definitely grateful to be here,” he said. “With what I saw right after. … The pictures. It was a hellish event.’

Cleveland could also be without fellow pass rusher Jadeveon Clowney, who is currently listed as questionable thanks to an ankle complaint.
Garrett was believed to be driving at an “unsafe speed for the type of roadway,” according to a statement from the Ohio State Highway Patrol to ESPNand reportedly swerved to dodge an animal on the road.
He has been charged with ‘failing to control his motor vehicle’ in response to the single-vehicle accident.
The crash happened on a country road near his home in Berea, Ohio, and he sustained a sprained shoulder, strained biceps, cuts and bruises in the wreckage.
