Cleveland Browns DE Myles Garrett ‘day to day’ with feet injury

Myles Garrett Cleveland Browns at TIAA Bank Field Jacksonville Florida August 12^ 2022

Cleveland Browns defensive end Myles Garrett underwent an MRI on Monday after re-aggravating an ongoing injury in both feet during Sunday’s game vs. the New York Giants.

Garrett sought attention in the medical tent and worked with trainers during the Browns Week 3 loss against NY. He appeared to be doubled over in pain, as well as needing assistance walking off the field at one point, and was also seen limping after the game. Cleveland head coach Kevin Stefanski said that he was still waiting for an updates, but Teller is ‘day to day’ and a possible IR candidate.

Garrett, the reigning Defensive Player of the Yea, said of the injury (via ESPN): “It’s more than just the foot. It’s multiple things going on. So, I mean, if I think the foot’s feeling good or feeling better, it’s one thing or another. So it’s kind of just feeding into each other right now, and nothing’s sitting right because nothing has time to heal because I’m leaning on something else and I’m compensating here to make something hurt there. It’s just been, like I said, a cycle.”

Garrett added that he may need a procedure “further down the line,” but said he will to play until he gets answers on the nature of the injury: “I’m not concerned about something I don’t know about. So, get the results and move from there. At this point, I’m going to continue to move as I have and look forward to playing the next game until someone tells me otherwise.”

Adam Driver attends premiere of biopic Ferrari during closing night of New York Film Festival at Alice Tully Hall in New York on October 13^ 2023

Lionsgate is gearing up to release the latest project from Francis Ford Coppola, “Megalopolis,” sharing a trailer for the film that was written, directed and produced by Coppola himself.

Megalopolis, starring Adam Driver, Giancarlo Esposito and Nathalie Emmanuel, follows the collapse of a future American empire while referencing the fall of Rome. The film marks the culmination of a decades-long project from the Coppola, who started working on the “Megalopolis” screenplay in the 1980s and invested $120 million of his own money into the making of it.

An official synopsis reads: “Megalopolis is a Roman Epic set in an imagined Modern America. The City of New Rome must change, causing conflict between Cesar Catalina (Driver), a genius artist who seeks to leap into a utopian, idealistic future, and his opposition, Mayor Franklyn Cicero (Esposito), who remains committed to a regressive status quo, perpetuating greed, special interests, and partisan warfare. Torn between them is socialite Julia Cicero (Emmanuel), the mayor’s daughter, whose love for Cesar has divided her loyalties, forcing her to discover what she truly believes humanity deserves.”

Megalopolis had its world premiere at the Cannes Film Festival in May; the cast also includes Aubrey Plaza, Shia LaBeouf, Jon Voight, Laurence Fishburne, Kathryn Hunter and Dustin Hoffman.

Megalopolis is set to debut in theaters on Sept. 27; watch the trailer for the film – HERE.

Paramount shared a trailer for Apartment 7A, the prequel to ‘Rosemary’s Baby’ featuring Julia Garner and directed by Natalie Erika James.

After a Broadway producer (Sturgess) offers her a path to fame, Terry has an evening she can’t quite remember and suspects that something evil inhabits her apartment and the building itself.  An official synopsis reading: “However, after an evening she can’t fully remember, disturbing circumstances soon have her second-guessing the sacrifices she’s willing to make for her career as she realizes that something evil is living not only in Apartment 7A, but in the Bramford itself.”  

The cast of ‘Apartment 7A’ also includes Dianne Wiest, Kevin McNally, Jim Sturgess, Marli Siu, Andrew Buchan, Rosy McEwen and Kobna Holdbrook-Smith. The film was inspired by Ira Levin’s Rosemary’s Baby and offers viewers a glimpse of the Bramford prior to Rosemary’s arrival.
