Overview
- Myles Garrett, who is 30, was not present at the Cleveland Browns’ voluntary veteran minicamp on Tuesday, the first of a three-day session that runs through April 23.
- General manager Andrew Berry said he remains in regular contact with Garrett and is not concerned about his spring absence, and head coach Todd Monken said Garrett will be ready.
- Garrett has long trained away from team facilities and skipped Phase 1 of workouts earlier this month, with recent posts showing him at a Cavaliers playoff game and then leaving town.
- In March the Browns moved the due date for Garrett’s option bonus to seven days before the regular season, a change that can ease trade mechanics on paper, though team officials say they have no plans to move him.
- The reigning Defensive Player of the Year set an NFL single-season record with 23 sacks in 2025, and the next real checkpoint is the mandatory minicamp on June 9, which Monken noted could be his first in-person meeting with Garrett.
