You’ll recall Garrett got suspended indefinitely from the NFL and missed the last six games of the 2019 season. Garrett’s reinstatement campaign has begun. He met this week with NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell to discuss getting back in the game.
Garrett, for his part, has kept a low profile since the Steelers game and has been focused on doing charity work . Garrett was remorseful after the helmet incident saying, “Last night, I made a terrible mistake. I lost my cool and what I did was selfish and unacceptable. I know that we are all responsible for our actions and I can only prove my true character through my actions moving forward. I want to apologize to Mason Rudolph, my teammates, our entire organization, our fans and to the NFL. I know I have to be accountable for what happened, learn from my mistake and I fully intend to do so.”
