BEREA, Ohio — Myles Garrett can dump all the quarterbacks he wants. His dunking days are over.

The Browns’ All-Pro defensive end, who recently posted videos on Twitter and Instagram of him dominating on the basketball court, has put his hoops game on hold.

On Wednesday, Garrett, who is attending Cleveland’s voluntary conditioning program, joked that he’s following Michael Jordan’s lead.

“I feel like it’s more of a Jordan retirement,” Garrett said. “He went to baseball for a second. I went to basketball for a second, now I have to go back to what I’m good at, what I usually do, playing football, rushing the passer, stopping the run.

“Next season, you never know. I might go back to basketball, I might go play baseball, see if I can get on a team. There’s more on the horizon, but right now I have to get back to what my main focus is.”

While Garrett was kidding around, Browns Coach Kevin Stefanski seemed much more serious when asked about his star player’s basketball skills.

“He retired,” Stefanski said. “Great career for Myles, really proud of him. But he’s done.”

Stefanski was then asked if he had to talk with Garrett about hanging up his sneakers.

“He’s retiring,” Stefanski repeated.

Garrett’s basketball jones began in February when he posted a video playing in a pickup game and included a message to Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban, asking if he needed a “big guard.” Garrett recently tweeted a video of him dribbling behind the back and dunking over two defenders.

The idea of Garrett risking injury while playing basketball was unsettling to the Browns. They signed him to a five-year, $100 million contract extension last year and have Super Bowl aspirations this season.

During a Zoom conference call, Garrett, who suffers from asthma, said he’s fully recovered after getting COVID-19 and missing two games last season.

He returned but struggled over the final five regular-season and two playoff games with his conditioning.

“I feel great,” he said. “I feel the best that I have since last year before COVID. It’s a wonderful feeling. I feel like it was kind of a long road and now that I’m back I’m feeling well-conditioned and feeling back at my peak.”

49ERS: Center Weston Richburg has retired after a knee injury derailed his career.

The 29-year-old Richburg officially announced his retirement Wednesday. He missed the entire 2020 season recovering from knee surgery and remained on San Francisco’s roster until now to delay some of the salary cap impact until 2021.

Richburg signed a five-year, $47.5 million contract with the Niners in 2018 after spending his first four seasons with the New York Giants.

Richburg played 15 games in 2018 as the anchor on San Francisco’s line and 13 more the following season before going down with a torn right patellar tendon in a Week 14 win at New Orleans.

Richburg missed the Niners’ run to the Super Bowl that season and never played again as he was also hampered by shoulder and hip injuries.

BENGALS: The Cincinnati Bengals signed their remaining two draft picks, including fifth overall selection Ja’Marr Chase, a wide receiver who won the national championship at LSU with quarterback Joe Burrow.

The Bengals also signed defensive end Joseph Ossai, a third-round selection. All 10 of their picks are now signed.

PANTHERS: The Panthers plan to move Jeremy Chinn to safety, one year after a stellar rookie season at linebacker.

It’s a move designed, in part, to help prolong Chinn’s NFL career – at 220 pounds, he’s considered undersized for a linebacker – as well as shore up the team’s vulnerable safety position.

Panthers Coach Matt Rhule said the decision is contingent upon Chinn’s comfort level at the position when he gets to training camp. Chinn is currently returning from offseason cleanup surgery on his knee, so the Panthers are keeping him out of all contact work until the summer as a precautionary measure.

CONCUSSIONS: The NFL pledged to halt the use of “race-norming” – which assumed Black players started out with lower cognitive function – in the $1 billion settlement of brain injury claims and review past scores for any potential race bias.

The practice made it harder for Black retirees to show a deficit and qualify for an award. The standards were created in the 1990s in hopes of offering more appropriate treatment to dementia patients, but critics faulted the way they were used to determine payouts in the NFL concussion case.

The announcement comes after a pair of Black players filed a civil rights lawsuit over the practice, medical experts raised concerns and a group of NFL families last month dropped 50,000 petitions at the federal courthouse in Philadelphia – where the lawsuit had been thrown out by the judge overseeing the settlement.

Senior U.S. District Judge Anita B. Brody later took the unusual step of asking for a report on the issue. Black retirees hope it will include a breakdown of the nearly $800 million in payouts so far by race. They fear the data will never come to light.
