It is Thursday, February 10, 2022, and Cleveland Browns fans are delighted to hear that defensive end Myles Garrett is dusting off his high tops and restarting his recreational basketball career.
This is the top headline for Thursday’s Browns Nation news and notes.
1. Myles Garrett Revives His Basketball Career
Myles Garrett retired from pickup basketball last June at the urging of Coach Stefanski.
Now he’s back.
Garrett is scheduled to play in the NBA Celebrity All-Star Game on Friday, February 18.
A hype video has been released in anticipation of the big event.

There is no word on whether Coach Stefanski has signed off on Garrett’s return to the hardwood courts.
The Cleveland Cavaliers are hosting the NBA All-Star weekend festivities at Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse.
For fans concerned about a potential Garrett injury, we are told that the Celebrity Game is more controlled than a typical pickup game.
Hopefully, it is a little more true to the sport than Garrett’s last All-Star game, better known as the NFL’s 2022 Pro Bowl.
Other celebrities expected to play in the game include Cleveland’s mayor Justin Bibb, former Cavaliers players Booby Gibson and Anderson Varejao, and musicians Machine Gun Kelly and Jack Harlow.
2. NFL Is Planning A 2022 Game In Germany
Munich, Germany has been selected as the location for one of the five international NFL games during the 2022 season.
This marks the first time Germany has hosted the NFL.
Other planned NFL overseas games are scheduled in England and Mexico.
