Myles Garrett reveals problems with both feet related to his two surgeries as a boy; future surgery cannot be ruled out: Mary Kay Cabot

Myles Garrett reveals problems with both feet related to his two surgeries as a boy; future surgery cannot be ruled out: Mary Kay Cabot

BEREA, Ohio – Myles Garrett admitted Friday that he is having pain in both feet, not just one, and that it is likely related to the two foot surgeries he had as a young boy to correct flat feet.

He also acknowledged that the condition would likely affect him for the rest of his career and that further surgeries in the future could not be ruled out.

That's a lot for the reigning NFL Defensive Player of the Year and future Hall of Famer to process.

But Garrett has been dealing with it for 17 years, ever since he underwent the first of two corrective surgeries as a middle school student.

That's why he wants to avoid another operation altogether or delay it as long as possible: when he had the operations at the ages of 11 and 12, he was confined to the couch for six months each time.
