It took a little more than 24 hours for appeals officers Derrick Brooks and James Thrash to come to their decision on Cleveland Browns defensive end Myles Garrett‘s suspension. Garrett’s indefinite suspension was upheld, and he will be out for at least the rest of this season and post season.
That is a big hit for this Cleveland Browns team and for Garrett. Most thought he and the NFLPA put together a strong argument in his defense that would at least get the suspension reduced to a finite number of games.
Even if that meant he was out the remainder of this season, having a clear timeline for his return was the intended outcome for this appeal.
