Brown’s defensive end Myles Garrett has been released from a Cleveland hospital after being injured when he overturned his Porsche near the team’s practice facility in Berea, Ohio.
The 26-year-old suffered non-life-threatening injuries in the wreckage. He and a female passenger were taken to hospital around 3 p.m. Monday. Her status, as well as her identity, remain unclear.
NFL Networks Tom Pelissero reported that Garrett claims he swerved to miss an animal in the road, but corrected too much, causing the car to roll over. According to police, alcohol or drugs were not involved in the accident and both he and his female passenger were wearing seat belts. Traffic charges are pending, according to the Ohio State Highway Patrol.
Images of the crashed vehicle, captured by Cleveland’s WKYC, shows a gray Porsche with its wheels caked with grass and dirt, windows smashed and airbags deflated after they deployed. The front is crumpled and several parts dangled from the frame of the car.

Cleveland Browns star Myles Garrett had his Porsche flipped several times after leaving the team facility on Monday, but managed to escape with only a minor injury
According to a statement from his agent, Nicole Lynn, Garrett has been “alert and responsive” at the hospital as they await word on the extent of the injuries sustained.
“Myles Garrett was involved in a one-car accident this afternoon and was taken to a local hospital for examination,” Lynn’s statement said.
“While we wait to learn the extent of his injuries, he has been alert and responsive. The Garrett family would like to thank the medical personnel who removed Myles and his passenger from the vehicle and took them safely to the hospital.”
Weather may have been a factor in the accident as it rained Monday around the team facility in Berea, Ohio.
Garrett’s car would have drifted off the right side of the road, according to the OSHP, before flipping over several times.
