It happened as Garrett was competing against Carolina Panthers defensive end Brian Burns in an obstacle course skill challenge as part of the new Pro Bowl format. The obstacle course involved climbing over three walls approximately six feet high and under a few low tables. Burns beat Garrett in the head-to-head matchup, with the injury to Garrett likely factoring into the end result.

It was unclear from the video where Garrett was injured on the obstacle course, as he did finish the race. However, it was painfully clear that Garrett was injured as he was seen limping off the field after the race.
Garrett is known for taking down opposing quarterbacks by any means necessary. The last thing any team wants to see is their star player injured in a meaningless competition. Fortunately for the Browns, X-rays came up negative for a fracture, so Garrett should most likely be healed in a few months, and will most definitely be ready in time for training camp.Probably not what Cleveland wants to see.
