The NFL should suspend Cleveland defensive end Myles Garrett for the rest of the 2019 season, if not longer.
Garrett should accept it and count his blessings that he was off target when he violently swung a helmet at the unprotected head of Pittsburgh quarterback Mason Rudolph during a late-game scrum Thursday. Instead it was more of a glancing blow and Rudolph later reported he was “fine.”
If not for that bit of fortune, Rudolph would have been seriously injured and Garrett might be dealing with assault with a deadly weapon charges. Or worse.
