Is Myles Garrett playing tonight vs Steelers?

The Cleveland Browns will play the Pittsburgh Steelers at FirstEnergy Stadium on Thursday, September 22 at 8:15 pm ET. Defensive end Myles Myles Garrett was on the Week 3 injury list for the Browns. He missed the practice session on Tuesday, which made his status questionable for the matchup with the Steelers.

Steelers linebacker T.J. Watt is suffering from a pectoral injury and will miss multiple weeks of the season. It would have been great to see the two best defensive players on the field, however, it isn't going to happen on Thursday. Fantasy football fans are in doubt as to whether they should start Garrett this week.

The good news for Cleveland fans is that Myles Garrett is set to play against the Steelers tonight. Garrett missed Tuesday's practice session as he was suffering from a neck injury. However, the Browns announced on Wednesday that Garrett is in great shape and is fit to play against the Steelers. Joel Bitonio and Jack Conklin are also expected to play. The bad news for Cleveland is that DE Jadeveon Clowney won't play on Thursday because of an ankle injury.

Both the Browns and the Steelers suffered a frustrating loss in their last game. Cleveland somehow lost 31-30 to the New York Jets after leading with just 22 seconds remaining in the fourth quarter. The Steelers lost 17-14 to the New England Patriots in a game where their offense never got going. Both will be disappointed with their performances and are looking to bounce back immediately. Garrett will be a key player in this matchup.
