As thrilled as the Browns are to have Garrett back, linebacker Christian Kirksey hopes expectations are kept in check.
"It's special," he said about the prospect of a Game 1 sack. "It's like a fat guy's touchdown. But whatever I can do to affect the game and just be a helping hand for this defense, if we can just help get a win on this field,Akiem Hicks Jersey, I'll do whatever I can, whatever that takes."

CLEVELAND (AP) — Six months after being drafted, Myles Garrett can finally show why he was the No. 1 pick.
"It is exciting, not only for myself and our coaching staff but for him and for his teammates," Jackson said. "They want to get him out there playing. They know that he brings something to the table for our football team, and we are looking for any spark,Kanken Backpack Sale UK, opportunity. Somebody that can continue to raise the bar for our team. That is what we need."

Garrett announced his return earlier this week on Twitter. On Sunday, he'd like to proclaim it with a sack.
Coach Hue Jackson said Garrett's snaps could be limited as the team doesn't want to take any extra chances with the rookie defensive end now that he's finally healthy.
