Myles Garrett acknowledges knee injury is significant after 0-tackle debut in Rams' Australia loss

Garrett said he was not at 100% after missing most of training camp and finished without a tackle in Los Angeles' 27-7 loss.

  • On Friday, the San Francisco 49ers defeated the Los Angeles Rams 27-7 at the Melbourne Cricket Ground, marking the NFL's first-ever regular-season game played in Australia.
  • Los Angeles edge rusher Myles Garrett recorded no tackles or sacks during his debut, later admitting he was not at 100% health due to lingering knee pain from training camp.
  • Meanwhile, the 49ers entered the game with stars Nick Bosa and George Kittle available, while defensive tackle James Thompson Jr. returned to limited work after managing a hamstring injury.
  • The Rams acquired Garrett in June for a substantial package including Jared Verse and multiple draft picks, expecting him to anchor their defense alongside Aaron Donald.
  • Aaron Donald is expected to return as early as next Monday against the New York Giants, providing a significant boost to the Rams' defensive line after sitting out Week 1.
