Former Texas A&M defensive standout Myles Garrett made an impressive return to action Sunday, recording three sacks and forcing a fumble in the Los Angeles Rams' 20-13 victory over the Washington Commanders.
Garrett, who missed seven games following knee surgery, immediately made his presence felt in his first appearance since Week 1. The former Aggie finished with three tackles for loss and three quarterback hits, helping Los Angeles secure its third consecutive victory and improve to 5-4.
His biggest moment of the first half came when he stripped Washington quarterback Jayden Daniels during a sack late in the second quarter. Linebacker Omar Speights recovered the fumble, giving the Rams possession and setting up a field goal before halftime.
Garrett continued disrupting Washington's offense in the second half, adding two more sacks. His third came with 2:31 remaining in the fourth quarter, forcing the Commanders to punt while trailing by seven points.
According to Pro Football Focus, Garrett became the latest Rams defender to record at least three sacks in a single game, joining a group that includes Aaron Donald, Leonard Floyd and Troy Reeder. Donald did so twice in 2020 and 2021, including a four-sack performance against San Francisco. Floyd and Reeder each recorded three sacks in 2020.
Garrett's dominant outing provided a significant boost to a Los Angeles defense that had been without its star pass rusher for nearly two months. With the Rams fighting to remain in playoff contention, his return could prove critical during the second half of the season.
