Myles Garrett absent from joint practice with Cowboys due to back soreness

Myles Garrett is not participating in a joint practice against the Cowboys today after missing four practices last week because of back soreness. Although he insisted he was 'good', this marks the second consecutive day he has missed practice. Garrett, the reigning Defensive Player of the Year, played all 17 games in the past two seasons and was acquired in a significant offseason trade. Matthew Stafford, however, is participating in the practice. The team is monitoring Garrett's status as they prepare for the upcoming season.
