Myles Garrett is determined to keep playing despite possible structural damage in shoulder

Myles Garrett actually likely does have some structural damage in his left shoulder — aggravated during Sunday’s 29-12 loss to the Broncos — but he’s determined to keep playing, Mary Kay Cabot of the Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

Kevin Stefanski answered in the affirmative on Monday when asked a two-part question about Garrett that included the phrase “no structural issues,” but he never actually stated that Garrett has no damage in the shoulder.

Given the fact that Garrett “felt a pop” during the game and couldn’t lift his shoulder afterward, it’s highly unlikely that there’s no damage inside. It doesn’t mean it will keep him from playing or that he’ll need surgery, but there’s an issue in the shoulder that’s been bothering him for awhile, and it got worse on Sunday.

In fact, it could be an aggravation of the AC joint sprain from flipping his Porsche last season, or it could be something new, such as a partial dislocation, where the ball slips out of the socket and then pops back in. Whatever the case, he’s likely going to be playing in pain the rest of the season, and might be limited at times.

When asked that day how his body was holding up, he said, “I feel terrible. Everything hurts, shoulder hurts. But we’ve got to keep on going, keep on rolling till the wheels fall off. We’re having great success and enjoying how this team is really coming together, especially down the stretch. And we’re going to continue to keep on working hard to be fresh and fit whenever we get to Sunday.”
