Myles Garrett of the Cleveland Browns has left the Pro Bowl. The 27-year-old said Tuesday that he had "retired" from the event after dislocating his big toe while racing Carolina Panthers defensive end Brian Burns through an obstacle course during the first Pro Bowl Games. Although the injury did not necessitate surgery, Garrett stated that it has been "nagging" him since February. Garrett hasn't "retired" from everything. After posting videos of himself dunking on social media, Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski "retired" Garrett from offseason pick-up basketball games in 2021. Garrett had a shoulder sprain and bicep strains in an automobile accident in 2022. In Week 4, he was absent from one game. Garrett added a unique touch to the Pro Bowl by incorporating several backyard games rather than a complete 11-on-11 football game. He believes that including fans in the tournament would bring them closer to the game. Garrett made his fourth Pro Bowl berth and third in a row this season. He's also been named to two first-team All-Pro teams and two second-team All-Pro teams since the Browns selected him first overall in 2017. In 84 games, Garrett has 74.5 sacks, 142 quarterback hits, and 13 forced fumbles. Since 2017, their numbers have ranked third, fourth, and sixth among all NFL defensive players.

Playing in the tournament for a 16th year, Weinman was tops in a deep pool of 10,043 players vying for $93.39 million. His victory came after just 164 hands at the final table.

Weinman's final table featured Jan-Peter Jachtmann, who landed in fourth place and took home $3 million, as well as Toby Lewis, who finished seventh and secured $1.42 million. According to the Las Vegas Review-Journal, the main event's entry pool far outpaced the previous record of 8,773 set in 2006. "I've always kind of felt that poker was kind of going in a dying direction, but to see the numbers at the World Series this year has been incredible," Weinman said. "And to win this main event, it doesn't feel real. I mean, [there's] so much luck in a poker tournament. I thought I played very well." Steven Jones finished second, securing $6.5 million.
