Browns’ top pick Garrett ‘totally healthy,’ ready for training camp

-

BEREA, Ohio — The Cleveland Browns have their first win: Myles Garrett is ready for training camp.

The rookie defensive end and No. 1 pick in the NFL draft has recovered from a foot sprain and will be on the field Thursday when Cleveland opens camp.

Garrett suffered a left lateral foot sprain while rushing quarterbac­k Brock Osweiler during minicamp in June. He was placed in a walking boot and there was some concern he might be sidelined for an extensive period.

But coach Hue Jackson said Wednesday that Garrett is “totally healthy” and will be on the field for the team’s first workout. Garrett will be monitored during practices and it’s possible he could be kept out of some drills.

“We will definitely monitor him but I think he’s totally healthy, maybe hasn’t done all the conditioni­ng that you like to see right before training camp,” Jackson said. “But I think he’s up to speed and ready to go. And he’s looking forward to it.”
