Myles Garrett acknowledges knee injury is significant after 0-tackle debut in Rams' Australia loss
Garrett said he was not 100% healthy after recording zero tackles in Los Angeles' 27-7 loss, and the Rams may have to monitor his knee going forward.
- On Friday, September 11, 2026, the San Francisco 49ers defeated the Los Angeles Rams 27-7 at the Melbourne Cricket Ground, marking the first regular-season NFL game ever played in Australia before a crowd of 100,021.
- Los Angeles Rams defensive end Myles Garrett recorded no tackles or sacks in his debut, having missed most training camp practices while managing persistent knee swelling despite team reports labeling him healthy.
- While Garrett struggled, 49ers defensive end Nick Bosa and tight end George Kittle returned from serious injuries to contribute, helping San Francisco outperform the Rams' revamped defense after limited practice participation.
- "This was the worst version of myself that I've put out there," Garrett admitted after the loss, acknowledging his knee injury was more significant than previously disclosed and impacted his physical capacity.
- The Rams plan to integrate three-time AP NFL Defensive Player of the Year Aaron Donald, who may debut Monday against the New York Giants, as they work to improve resilience while Garrett recovers.
