According to the Plain Dealer, the suspension was upheld despite Garrett's claim that Rudolph used a racial slur during the fight.
“We welcome Myles back to our organization with open arms,” Andrew Berry, the Browns general manager and executive vice president, said in a news release. “We know he is grateful to be reinstated, eager to put the past behind him and continue to evolve and grow as a leader. We look forward to having his strong positive presence back as a teammate, player and person in our community.”
