Per the collective bargaining agreement, Garrett’s appeal must take place before Cleveland’s next game. The players’ appeals will be heard by league officers Derrick Brooks and James Thrash, both former players. AdvertisementGarrett was fined an undisclosed amount and the Steelers and Browns were levied $250,000 penalties. Before his appeal is heard, Garrett’s suspension already is the longest in league history for a single on-field behavior, surpassing Albert Haynesworth’s five-game ban in 2006 for stepping on a player’s face. The 23-year-old Garrett dragged Rudolph down on a pass play and then fought with the second-year QB on the ground.
