Myles Garrett DL, Cleveland Browns
ESPN's Adam Schefter reports that Myles Garrett alleged in his appeal hearing that Mason Rudolph "called him a racial slur prior to last week's brawl."
Garrett reportedly alleged the incident happened "just prior" to the explosive brawl. "Mason vehemently denies the report of being accused of using a racial slur during the incident Thursday night in Cleveland," the Steelers said in a statement. Rudolph's agent has also issued a vehement denial. It's an extremely troubling allegation. Word on Garrett's appeal is expected later this week
