Myles Garrett records no tackles in Los Angeles Rams debut
Summary

Myles Garrett finished without a tackle or quarterback hit during his debut for the Los Angeles Rams against the San Francisco 49ers on Thursday. The defensive end faced frequent quick-release passes and contested blocking from Trent Williams throughout the contest. Following the game, Garrett attributed his quiet performance to a knee injury that was not at full health. The two-time Defensive Player of the Year admitted he prioritized staying on the field rather than his usual aggressive approach. Rams coach Sean McVay previously acknowledged the team monitored knee swelling for the defender during training camp. Garrett stated he must improve his recovery to return to his standard level of play.
