While looking ahead to next week against the Los Angeles Chargers is not on the minds of the actual Cleveland Browns, we cannot help but take notice of some news out of Los Angeles. As Myles Garrett has already gone against one rookie in Ikem Ekwonu (racking up two sacks in Week 1), he will get another as sixth rounder Jamaree Salyer has been named as the starting left tackle for the Chargers after the season-ending injury to Rashawn Slater.
Salyer was the starting left tackle for the National Championship-winning Georgia Bulldogs. However, his scouting report entering the NFL was that he was a guard at the next level given his length, build, and lack of flexibility. For an edge rusher who can bend the outside track like Garrett can, this could spell trouble.
Again, this may be counting the chickens before they hatch as Garrett is still recovering from a car accident earlier this week. However, seeing that he has not been ruled out for this week against the Atlanta Falcons, it seems likely he will be good to go by the following week.
