On Wednesday in New York, Cleveland Browns defensive end Myles Garrett gave his side of the story from the brawl on Thursday Night Football to attempt to get his indefinite suspension reduced, or at least have a timetable put on the suspension.
As a part of his appeal, Garrett claimed Steelers quarterback Mason Rudolph used a racial slur before the brawl started and before Garrett swung Rudolph’s helmet at the Steelers quarterback’s head, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter and Josina Anderson.
Rudolph’s agent has fervently denied Garrett’s allegation, saying the claim is a lie.
