Browns’ Garrett has sprained foot, expected to be in camp

- — The Associated Press

CLEVELAND » The Cleveland Browns finally caught a break. Top pick Myles Garrett only has a sprained foot.

After fearing the rookie defensive end might be out for a significan­t period, the Browns announced Saturday that Garrett has a lateral sprain in his left foot, but that he’s expected to be ready for training camp next month.

Garrett was injured Wednesday during the late stages of practice, going down without any contact while rushing quarterbac­k Brock Osweiler during a two-minute drill. Garrett’s reaction — he put his hands to his head, grabbed his foot in pain — as well as his frustratio­n while being seen by a trainer seemed to indicate a serious injury.

However, the Browns said Dr. Robert Anderson, a foot and ankle specialist with OrthoCarol­ina, agreed with a preliminar­y diagnosis by team physician Dr. James Voos of University Hospitals that Garrett only has a sprain. He’s in a walking boot and will receive treatment before the Browns open training camp on July 27.
