Myles Garrett: "This was the worst version of myself that I've put out there"
NFL star Myles Garrett expressed deep disappointment in his performance during his debut for the Los Angeles Rams following a 27-7 loss to the 49ers. Garrett, who struggled with a knee injury during the preseason, emphasized his need to regain his health and return to his previous form.
Why it matters
As the reigning Defensive Player of the Year, Garrett's performance is a major narrative in professional football, impacting the competitive outlook for the Rams.
Myles Garrett didn’t have a single tackle, sack or pressure in his much-hyped debut for the Rams on Thursday night, and afterward he said the 27-7 loss to the 49ers was as bad a game as he’s ever played.
“This was the worst version of myself that I’ve put out there,” Garrett said. “I’ve got to be better. I’ve got to find a way to recover and get back to the player I know I can be and I’ve shown that I’ve been before.”
Garrett, who didn’t play in the preseason and barely practiced in training camp because of a knee injury, said his primary focus now is “getting healthy.”
