Cleveland Browns ended their three-game winning streak after a devastating 12-29 loss against the Denver Broncos on Sunday. The Browns were looking solid this season thanks to their sixth-ranked scoring defense. Apart from the Week 12 defeat, they have suffered a major blow as their star defensive end suffered an injury during the game.

Myles Garrett played all four quarters of the game, registering two tackles with one for loss and a pass defensed. Although sideline reporters suggested he might be experiencing wrist pain, Garrett clarified in the locker room that he had suffered a shoulder injury.
According to Cleveland.com reporter Mary Kay Cabot, the defensive end stated that he felt something pop in his left shoulder. He displayed clear discomfort, struggling to put on his shirt, and later wore a sling around his arm.

After the injury, Garrett expressed hope of being able to play in upcoming games. He said despite facing challenges in the past that would have sidelined him he has still played through it. He further said that he is determined to fight through this situation for the benefit of both the team and himself.
Injuries Shake up Browns’ Lineup
In the Broncos game, QB Dorian Thompson-Robinson, who had been filling in for Deshaun Watson, took a blow in the third quarter, prompting him to exit the field for a concussion check. He suffered a concussion and was ruled out from the game.

There is a possibility that DTR might miss the Week 13 game against the LA Rams and if that happens, Browns will have no other option than to start with PJ Walker. WR Amari Cooper and DT Joran Elliot both sustained injuries during the game. Cooper suffered a rib injury, while Elliot injured his ankle. As a result, they were ruled out of the game. Reports indicated that Cooper likely had a bruise, as test results showed no serious injury.
