Mason Rudolph Threatens Myles Garrett With Legal Action After Garrett Claimed Rudolph Called Him A Racial Slur In Latest ESPN Interview

If you thought the Myles Garrett-Mason Rudolph saga was over, think again.

Earlier this month, the NFL announced that it was reinstating Cleveland Browns defensive end Myles Garrett from his indefinite suspension for striking Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Mason Rudolph with a helmet.

Following his reinstatement, Garrett did an interview with ESPN, where he doubled down his claim of Rudolph calling him a racial slur prior to Garrett swinging a helmet at him.

Mason Rudolph also responded to the accusation on Twitter, saying it was a “bold-faced lie” and “1000% false.”

1000% False.

Bold-Faced Lie.

I did not, have not, and would not utter a racial-slur.

This is a disgusting and reckless attempt to assassinate my character. https://t.co/mZcEcC0tCl
