Watch: Myles Garrett makes his first big play as a member of the Rams

Myles Garrett, the reigning Defensive Player of the Year, returned from injured reserve and immediately made an impact for the Los Angeles Rams. In the second quarter of a game against the Washington Commanders, Garrett sacked quarterback Jayden Daniels at the Washington 44-yard line, forcing a six-yard loss and subsequently knocking the ball loose.

Linebacker Omar Speights recovered the fumble at the Washington 46. This marked Garrett's first forced fumble of his tenure with the Rams, a stark contrast to his debut performance in Week 1 where he was largely ineffective, not recording a tackle, sack, QB hit, batted pass, or forced fumble. The Rams acquired Garrett in June for Jared Verse and three draft picks in what was their biggest offseason move.

Garrett, who missed the past seven games due to a knee injury, has been sidelined for most of training camp and joint practices. However, Sunday's strip-sack demonstrated the kind of impact play the team had hoped Garrett would bring, and they are optimistic about his potential for the remainder of the season.
