As Cleveland Browns defensive end Myles Garrett stood in the visitors locker room Sunday with his left arm in a sling, the challenge of chasing one of the more prestigious NFL milestones became evident.
Garrett is tied with the Los Angeles Chargers linebacker Khalil Mack for the second-most sacks in the league with 13, putting the pair within striking distance of 22.5, which is the single-season record shared by Michael Strahan (2001) and Pittsburgh Steelers linebacker T.J. Watt (2021).
"I've played through things that should have sidelined me before, and I'm going to continue to fight," Garrett said before learning there was no structural damage to the shoulder and he'll be able to play Sunday against the Los Angeles Rams.
