Garrett Skips Browns Minicamp, Monken Stays Chill

0:00On April 22nd, Cleveland Browns kicked off their voluntary minicamp Tuesday under new head coach Todd Munkin. It's day 1 of a possible 3-day session for veterans running April 21st through 23rd. They ran 7 on 7 and 11 on 11 drills, but star defensive in Miles Garrett stayed away, just like everyone expected. Munkin told reporters after practice he hasn't met Garrett in person or talked on the phone yet. They've only texted. He stressed, it's all voluntary and players have been great about communicating their plans, including Garrett. Still, Munkin admitted he wishes the whole team showed up. Fans and media are buzzing because Garrett's been low key since the regular season ended. He skipped these workouts under the old coach too, and owner Jimmy Haslam said, flat out he didn't expect Garrett at the facility this month. No big shock there. The real talk is how this fuel speculation about team vibes with the new staff. A quick phone call could shut that down, but for now, it's just text and silence from Garrett beyond a vague social media post.

1:05Bottom line, minicamp rolls on without their top guy, but Munkin's keeping a chill. We'll see if Garrett links up soon or if this stays the off season norm for the Browns.
