Myles Garrett has been suspended for the rest of this season and maybe longer, after the Cleveland Browns star pass rusher ripped the helmet off Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Mason Rudolph and clubbed him in the head with it in the final seconds of Thursday night’s game.
The NFL also suspended Browns defensive tackle Larry Ogunjobi one game for shoving Rudolph in the back. Pittsburgh center Maurkice Pouncey was suspended three games as well after he kicked and punched Garrett while defending Rudolph.
Players and analysts from around the NFL have offered their reaction and the Eagles’ top enforcer and star right tackle, Lane Johnson, weighed in as well.
While addressing the media after the Eagles practice on Friday, Johnson told ESPN’s Tim McManus that he would have reacted the same way Pouncey did, and would have slugged Garrett as well.
Johnson has been a leading supporter and protector of Carson Wentz since the Eagles selected their star quarterback in the 2016 NFL Draft.
