Garrett recorded three sacks and forced a fumble in the Rams’ 20-13 win over Washington on Sunday.
Garrett’s strip-sack of quarterback Jayden Daniels forced a fumble late in the second quarter, with Washington leading 10-3. Omar Speights recovered for the Rams. Garrett’s second sack came early in the fourth quarter.
The Rams edge rusher had not played since Week 1, when he tried to play through a knee injury and recorded no statistics in 40 snaps. He underwent arthroscopic surgery the following week.
“Man, it was a weight off my shoulders, just getting back to who I am,” Garrett said after his return. “I’m nowhere near where I want to be as far as my performance and things I know I can do and how I can move, but this is a confidence booster for sure.”
Garrett generated six pressures on 27 pass rushes, according to NFL Next Gen Stats. It was his ninth three-sack game and brought his career total to 128.5 sacks.
The game also marked the first time Garrett and Aaron Donald played together. They shared the field for 23 plays and combined for four sacks.
