Coach Kevin Stefanski said Friday that Garrett (hamstring) will likely be back to participating in full at practice "shortly," Zac Jackson of The Athletic reports. Garrett tweaked his hamstring during a minicamp drill back in June, and he's still limited at practice as he works on recovering. Cleveland has every incentive not to rush the reigning Defensive Player of the Year back onto the practice field until he's absolutely ready.

Coach Kevin Stefanski said Friday that Garrett (hamstring) will likely be back to participating in full at practice "shortly," Zac Jackson of The Athletic reports. Garrett tweaked his hamstring during a minicamp drill back in June, and he's still limited at practice as he works on recovering. Cleveland has every incentive not to rush the reigning Defensive Player of the Year back onto the practice field until he's absolutely ready.
Coach Kevin Stefanski said Thursday that Garrett (hamstring) "will be fine" after tweaking something during a minicamp drill, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports. Garrett's injury appears minor and shouldn't impede his readiness for the start of training camp late July, but due to the nature of soft tissue injuries, the situation should nonetheless be monitored. While he was helped off the field on a cart, Cabot reports that Garrett could have walked off under his own strength. The reigning Defensive Player of the Year, Garrett has posted six straight seasons with double-digit sacks, and health permitting, a seventh should be right around the corner.
It's a very encouraging development for Garrett, who said he felt something pop in his left shoulder during Sunday's loss at Denver, per Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer. The precise severity of his injury is still unknown at this point, but it seems like there's at least a chance he could suit up in Week 13 at the Rams.
Garrett was the author of one of the most dominant individual performances in recent memory in Week 7 and was instrumental in Cleveland picking up its fourth win of the season. If two strip sacks, one of which was recovered in the end zone for a touchdown, weren't enough, Garrett jumped over the offensive line early in the second quarter to block a field-goal attempt that would have given Indianapolis the lead. His next chance to add to his ridiculous season will come Sunday at the Seahawks.
