Mike Tomlin, Mason Rudolph Deny Myles Garrett's Claim That QB Used Racial Slur

Pittsburgh Steelers coach Mike Tomlin and quarterback Mason Rudolph denied Cleveland Browns defensive end Myles Garrett's claim that Rudolph used a racial slur toward him in a game last November.

Garrett, who was reinstated into the NFL on Wednesday, reiterated his allegation during an interview with Outside the Lines' Mina Kimes which aired Thursday night on SportsCenter.

"He called me the N-word," Garrett said. "He called me a 'stupid N-word.'"

Garrett was suspended indefinitely by the NFL for his role in a brawl that broke out in a Week 11 game between the Steelers and Browns.
