Cleveland Browns defensive end Myles Garrett had some choice words for San Francisco 49ers receiver Jauan Jennings for his behavior during their Week 13 clash.
Multiple Browns players, including Garrett, exchanged words with Jennings after defensive tackle Maliek Collins went down with an injury.
“I can’t speak to how he was raised. If you have nothing good to say, don’t say something to somebody. He had a lot to say that was demeaning and disparaging toward some of our players,” Garrett said. “I was trying to separate everybody and ask what the problem was. He started coming at me. Some guys roll like that, I don’t feel like that belongs in the game.”
Browns veteran defensive tackle was less diplomatic with his call out of Jennings, who was hit with a low blow last week against the Carolina Panthers.
“He’s a (expletive) and I want that known. I see why he got punched in the nuts. He said some things you should never say to another man ever. But I don’t respect it because you say it and run behind your offensive line,” Harris said. “That’s some real soft (expletive) and I want that known. I see exactly why they punched him in the nuts and I’m surprised no one has punched him in the jaw yet.
Browns DT Maliek Collins Carted Off With Injury
Collins went down awkwardly while rushing the passer, immediately grabbing at his right knee as trainers rushed onto the field. He was carted to the locker room moments later, and the Browns quickly ruled him out for the remainder of the game.
Head coach Kevin Stefanski said afterward that the initial diagnosis is a quad injury, with further testing scheduled to determine the full extent.
Collins has emerged as a key piece of Cleveland’s interior defensive front. He ranks second on the team with 6.5 sacks this season, adding 24 tackles and seven tackles for loss. The 6-foot-2, 310-pound defensive tackle also earned a 75.0 grade from Pro Football Focus, placing him No. 13 among all NFL defensive tackles. Collins entered Sunday’s matchup coming off a dominant 2.5-sack performance against the Raiders.
Browns Have Bounce-Back Opportunity Against Titans
The Browns dropped to 3-9 this season with the loss to the 49ers. But the team has a chance to bounce back next week when they welcome the one-win Tennessee Titans. Quarterback Shedeur Sanders will start that game, head coach Kevin Stefanski confirmed.
Sanders passed for 149 yards and a touchdown against the 49ers. He’s looking forward to getting another shot at proving himself.
“Of course I’m thankful. Like, in the midst of everything that’s going on — wins, losses, anything. I remember when I wasn’t playing, so I never forget that feeling,” Sanders said. “So, I try my best to not let that happen again, for me to be in that position. But we fell short today, and we just can’t continue doing that. We can’t continue doing that at all. So, I know we let a lot of people down – we let the coaches down as players and everything today. But we’ll be ready to go next week.”
Sanders exited for one play against the 49ers with an apparent ankle injury. But after the game, he said he’ll be good to go.
