The Browns’ star defender, who missed two NFL games last season due to COVID-19, said he had plenty of symptoms, including a headache and fatigue.

Myles Garrett dealt with ongoing issues from COVID-19

The two-time Pro Bowl defensive end revealed he struggled with the lasting effects of the disease when he returned to NFL action weeks later.

Garrett did not hesitate to get the COVID-19 vaccine when it became available to him. The 25-year-old is also urging others to get vaccinated at the earliest.

Garrett also revealed that both of his parents contracted the virus, while his great-grandmother passed away after a battle with COVID-19.

The 2020 first-team All-Pro said his parents got the vaccine immediately, as have most of his close family members and friends.

According to NFL spokesman Brian McCarthy, around 92% of NFL players have been fully vaccinated or had at least one shot.
