Cleveland Browns
Not even the toughest dudes in the NFL can escape the wrath of COVID-19 … with Cleveland Browns superstar Myles Garrett admitting the virus “kicked my butt.”
The 24-year-old defensive end spoke out about his experiences with the coronavirus with reporters on Friday … saying he was hoping to be asymptomatic — but that wasn’t the case.
Garrett — who missed the past 2 games after testing positive — says he dealt with a fever, aches and lost his sense of smell.
“I was in pain. It wasn’t great,” Garrett said. “It kicked my butt … Now I’m back,”
The Defensive Player of the Year hopeful says he expects to be back to 100% in time for the team’s crucial matchup against the Tennessee Titans on Sunday.
“I’m not here to make a cameo appearance or a second-rate arrival. I’m here to do the job that I was doing before. I don’t think there will be any drop-off.”
Garrett also said he’s worried about long-term health effects — like Bills player Tommy Sweeney’s myocarditis diagnosis — but notes he’s been seeing doctors regularly and so far everything seems normal.
