3:21 PM PT -- Myles Garrett sustained a shoulder sprain and bicep strain, minor lacerations, and some bumps and bruises during his car accident Monday afternoon, according to the Cleveland Browns.
The injuries are consistent with body camera footage we posted earlier today -- taken just minutes after the single-car crash -- where Garrett's seen rubbing his bicep and pointing out the area to emergency responders. MG was also bleeding at the scene.
Thankfully, the Browns say Myles didn't break any bones, and he cleared concussion protocol. Despite averting serious injury, the team says Garrett's status for Sunday's game against the Falcons is up in the air.
"Although we hope to have him back soon, his availability for Sunday's game in Atlanta will be evaluated by team doctors throughout the week."
New police video shows Myles Garrett appeared to be bleeding heavily from his right wrist following his car crash on Monday.
The footage -- captured on Medina County Sheriff's Office body cam and obtained by TMZ Sports -- reveals medical personnel was checking out the Cleveland Browns star just moments after the football player had crashed his Porsche 911 Turbo S in Ohio.

First responders can be heard in the clip asking about Garrett's bicep -- while also looking into other parts of his body.
The 26-year-old -- whose shirt was ripped and tattered -- seemed to be dazed and confused.
Eventually, medical personnel got Garrett to his feet -- and you can see in the video, blood was oozing from his wrist area.
Meanwhile, the video shows his female passenger on the ground being checked out by other first responders.
Cops say Garrett and the woman were ultimately transferred to a local hospital for non-life-threatening injuries.

NFL Network's Tom Pelissero reported Garrett wrecked the car while trying to avoid an animal on the road.
Police say they do not suspect alcohol or drugs were involved in the incident.
It's unclear if Garrett will be available for the Browns this weekend in wake of the accident.

3:24 PM PT -- Post Malone just broke his silence, confirming that he'll be back on stage tonight in Cleveland.
Post Malone is stepping back into the spotlight after needing to be hospitalized in Boston last weekend -- powering through the pain for his fans.
Sources connected to the singer tell TMZ ... Post will perform Tuesday in Cleveland, where he's scheduled to hit the Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse.
This is pretty major news, considering fans (especially those in CLE) have been wondering if he'd be able to take the stage after abruptly pulling the plug on Saturday's gig. Now, we know he'll see his fans -- but we're told he's still nursing a rib injury from that nasty fall.
— Post Malone (@PostMalone) September 24, 2022 @PostMalone
Our sources tell us PM got a CAT scan and X-Rays done over the weekend, and doctors found he's suffering from a small fracture in his rib cage. We're told Post was given pain meds to manage things -- and after a few days of rest, our sources say he's given his team the green light that he plans to rock the house.
Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.
He's got another gig Wednesday in Pittsburgh, and more shows next week. Obviously, he'll feel things out after Cleveland, but it's a good sign he's making his way back so soon.

Garrett's agent, Nicole Lynn, told media outlets Monday the Cleveland Browns star did not suffer broken bones in the crash. It's unclear if he'll be available for Sunday's game against the Atlanta Falcons.

China Rescue Kid Dangling from Balcony ... Saved by Super Neighbor
A child hanging on for dear life on the edge of a balcony in China received the superhero treatment, courtesy of his neighbor ... who literally turned into Spider-Man to save the day.
Watch this video shot in the city of Foshan, located in the Guangdong Province near south China ... showing a young kid who's got his head stuck between two metal posts, which are the only things stopping him from dropping down 7 stories off his apartment patio.
It's scary -- the boy's got nearly his entire body dangling over the edge ... as he desperately tries to get himself back onto the balcony, to no avail. People are looking from down below and seemingly calling for help -- which came in the form of a quick-thinking do-gooder.
It appears that a man living next door jumps out onto his patio gate, and then shimmies his way to where the kid is ... who then starts to push him back through the bars. The camera pans away for a bit, and when it refocuses -- you see a woman, presumably a family member, on the other side of the gate trying to help get the child back inside safely.
Their efforts eventually work, and the boy is slid back inside without any harm falling on him. The neighbor then begins to slide his way back to his unit -- it doesn't seem he could just hop the gate or easily enter, so he had to go back the long (and dangerous) way.
China is known for its high-rise apartments ... which are usually stacked pretty close together. The structure here seems no different -- and, thankfully, the architecture came in handy for this man to pull off some heroics.
Also ... keep an eye on your kids! They're a slippery bunch.

'Concussion' Doc Bennet Omalu Slams Tua For Returning To Game ... 'Your Life Is Worth More Than $10 Billion!!!'

Tua Tagovailoa was foolish for returning to the Bills game on Sunday after slamming his head on the turf ... so says famed neuropathologist Bennet Omalu -- who tells TMZ Sports the Dolphins quarterback put his life at risk by making the comeback.
Dr. Omalu -- who's the real-life inspiration for the famous Will Smith "Concussion" movie -- says that under no circumstances should Tagovailoa have come back into the contest in Miami after he was initially knocked out of it.
Omalu says he suspects Tagovailoa suffered a concussion based on everything he saw on the game's broadcast ... and he said the 24-year-old should have protected himself and his future and stayed on the sideline the rest of the day.

"Your life should be worth more to you than any amount of money," Omalu said. "Your life is worth more than $10 billion, 'cause you can't replace your life. You have only one life."
But Omalu, who discovered CTE, isn't faulting the NFL or the Dolphins one bit for allowing Tagovailoa back under center.
"The duty falls on the players," he said. "The NFL did not point a gun on his head and say, 'You must go back to play.' He could have said, 'No.'"
For Tagovailoa's part, he insisted he did not suffer a head injury during the play ... but rather, he said he hurt his back.

"I got up, and that's kind of why I stumbled," the signal-caller told reporters after Miami secured the 21-19 win over Buffalo. "My back kind of locked up on me. But for the most part, I'm good. Passed whatever concussion protocol they had."
The NFL Players Association has launched an investigation into the handling of the incident.

Daddy Long Neck's baby boy is out of the hospital and is on the mend ... this after the BF of the kid's mom was arrested for allegedly abusing the kid so badly he ended up there.
Long Neck tells TMZ ... his 9-month-old son, David Alfredo Samuelson Lopez, was released last Saturday from the hospital and is currently with a foster family -- and we're told the kid's doing way better.
Long Neck says David's off the feeding tube and is eating and drinking on his own ... he's even been giggling more and is a lot more active with his hands. He says doctors still aren't sure if there'll be any lasting effects from the ordeal, but he is improving every day.
As we reported, baby David went to the hospital last month after suffering skull fractures and brain bleeding.
The Montebello Police Department says officers ended up arresting Long Neck's ex's bf, Daemien Obeso, and booked him for child abuse causing great bodily injury. He'll be arraigned September 28.
DLN says he's allowed to visit his kid while in foster care and is exploring his legal options to get custody.

Cara Delevingne Surfaces in Paris Solo, Incognito ... Amid Health Concerns
Cara Delevingne has popped up halfway around the world all by herself and sorta undercover -- this as her inner circle has grown increasingly concerned about her health.
The model touched down Monday in Paris, where she was cruising through Charles de Gaulle Airport ... wearing a face mask, a beanie and sunglasses. She appeared to be rolling solo, with her face buried in her phone and not a whole lot of luggage on hand either.
We know there are some fashion events happening in and around Europe right now -- including in neighboring Italy -- but it's unclear what CD is doing there this week.
What we do know ... her friends and loved ones have expressed serious reservations about her state of being lately, with sources telling us Cara is in a bad way -- needing both rehab and mental health treatment for issues that seem to be consuming her these days.
Remember, she was seen looking out of sorts at Van Nuys Airport ... and her good pal, Margot Robbie, was recently seen in tears after leaving Cara's place.
Again, no word on whether Cara's in France for business or leisure, but those closest to her are hoping she takes care of herself while she's over there.

Ex-Surfing Star Chris Davidson Dead At 45 ... After Being Punched In Bar Fight In Australia
Former surfing star Chris Davidson died on Saturday ... after he was allegedly punched in the face in an altercation outside of a bar in Australia.
He was just 45 years old.
Authorities say they responded to a South West Rocks pub at around 11 PM on Saturday after receiving calls about an assault. A man -- reportedly later ID'ed as Davidson -- had allegedly hit his head on the ground following a punch.

Surfing legend Kelly Slater mourned his death in a post on his social media page, saying, "Lost another soldier yesterday. #RIPChrisDavo."
"Had many a good battle with this guy," Slater added. "One of the most naturally talented surfers I ever knew."
Surfing Australia called Davidson "an incredibly talented surfer and a true individual in our sport and community."
"Our thoughts go out to his two children, friends and family at this time," the org. added.
RIP.

Bam Margera Parties in Atlanta Club ... Amid Rehab Problems

Bam Margera's outpatient rehab program clearly isn't working -- because the guy was partying his face off this weekend in a whole different state.
TMZ has obtained photos of the 'Jackass' star hanging out early Saturday morning at the Koo Koo Room in Atlanta, where we're told he was raging with a group of strangers into the wee hours of the night.
Eyewitnesses tell us Bam was seen drinking ... and not just that, but he was also, apparently, name-dropping himself around the joint and drumming up interest.
Looks like Bam made friends fast, because he posed for at least a couple of pics ... including with some ladies. The guy in the white hat, we're told, is Parker Lipman -- who hosts MTV's "Buckhead Shore." Keeping it in the network family, it seems.
Anyway, this obviously flies in the face of the restructured program we were told Bam was going to attempt a couple weeks ago ... this after he'd escaped his rehab facility in Florida several times, only to surface in bars and with friends time and again.
No telling what this might mean for him ... we know his team was begging him to not leave Florida and to stay on track, but that's all out the window now. Dude's crossed state lines.

Portola Festival Festival-Goers Hop Barricade ... Organizers Say No Injuries or Arrests
6:19 AM PT -- 9/26 -- A source connected to the festival tells us this wasn't an issue of gate crashing or panic, the people seen in the viral videos were paying festival-goers with tickets. We're told there were no injuries or arrests related to the incident, either, just fans hopping a barrier to get to a stage.
A rep for Portola says, "There was a minimal, isolated issue with a festival stage entrance yesterday. This occurred within the confines of the grounds and was quickly addressed and corrected. There were no reported injuries and the festival continued for another 6 hours without incident."
The Portola Festival in San Francisco was out of control Saturday, and it was impossible not to look and recall the tragedy in Houston.
The event went down at Pier 80 in San Fran, and it was packed with people ... some of whom stormed the barricades to get inside for Fred Again and Charli XCX.

The Festival is produced by Goldenvoice ... the same org that puts on Coachella.
As far as we know, there were no serious injuries ... at least so far.

Aaron Carter had cops at his door for a welfare check after going live on Instagram ... because worried fans believed he was possibly doing drugs off-camera.
Law enforcement sources tell TMZ ... police received a call Tuesday evening -- with many saying Aaron was "possibly overdosing on social media."
9/20/22
In case you missed it, Aaron went live Tuesday night to chat it up with his followers ... but at one point, the screen went black -- and some fans thought they could hear spraying and inhaling going on in the background.
Cops and the fire department responded to Aaron's home in Lancaster -- sources say they tried calling Aaron and knocking on his door to no avail at first, but eventually made contact with him. Aaron told officers he was sleeping.
We're told cops found no drugs ... and say there was no criminal activity or any type of suicide attempt, either.
Our sources tell us his IG followers would call the cops more often in the past ... and they think his recent behavior online caused alarm once again.
Aaron later claimed it was all a joke, calling himself "the troll hunter" while spraying what appears to be an air freshener. Some fans online weren't buying it -- with some even noting the two sprays sound different.
As we reported, the singer was talking in L.A. last Sunday about his struggles with his on-again, off-again GF ... and he added he's been clean for 5 years and is going to meetings for his past drug addiction.
We reached out to Aaron for comment and he tells TMZ ... "I’m tired of people coming after me so I trolled everybody."

Sounds like there's a lot of confusion (and frustration) on the ground there at the arena ... with different reporters saying that droves of people are now leaving after being told by security as they were waiting to get in that Post Malone had postponed the show.
He's been performing since his tumbling through a hole on stage last weekend and cracking a few of his ribs. PM told fans later that he'd be okay and back on tour soon, but it sounds like he's still not 100%, even now.
Unclear if Post is going to perform anytime in the near future. He's got a couple shows next week, and a ton scheduled for October. Get well soon.

David Dobrik says he shouldn't be held responsible for any injuries suffered by a YouTuber in a social media stunt gone wrong ... claiming the guy knew what he was signing up for.
The influencer just responded to Jeff Wittek's lawsuit against him, with David claiming Jeff knowingly assumed the risks involved with the stunt and can't collect any damages from David just because he got hurt when it went sideways.
TMZ broke the story ... Jeff sued David back in June for more than $10 million, claiming David should have never been behind the controls of the massive excavator used in the stunt, which saw YouTubers being swung around from a rope attached to the excavator shovel.
Jeff says when it was his turn, David started swinging him around too quickly before abruptly slowing down, causing Wittek to slam into the side of the excavator, resulting in broken and fractured bones, plus a torn ligament.
In his response to Jeff's suit, David claims Wittek knew how risky the stunt was and can't blame David for his injuries. David is asking the judge to dismiss the complaint and award nothing to Jeff.
