NFL star Myles Garrett's indefinite suspension upheld after appeal.
It's unclear how long Garrett will have to sit out, but it's expected to last at least through the rest of the season and post-season.prior to Garrett's appeal hearing that the NFL talent will"probably meet with us sometime in the off-season, and I think we'll make a judgment on does he have remorse."
Rudolph's attorney, Timothy Younger, suggested Garrett was lying about whether Rudolph used a racial slur. He said in a statement Thursday that Garrett's claim was"conspicuously absent in the apology published by the Browns and adopted by Garrett."Rudolph has previously denied saying anything to escalate the fight, and he has not been subjected to any penalties as a result of his role in the brawl that broke out involving multiple players from both teams.
On Thursday, when asked about Garrett's allegation against Rudolph, Cleveland Browns head coach Freddie Kitchens said he stands by his player. In the moments following the brawl, Garrett has"been nothing but professional with his responses." He added that whatever the arbiter decides,"we'll respect his decision."Steelers center Maurkice Pouncey was also punished for taking part, and received a three-game suspension after punching and kicking Garrett. Appeals officers decided to reduce his suspension to two games while upholding a $35,096 fine, the NFL said Thursday.
