Myles Garrett impresses Rams in first training‑camp practice

Defensive end Myles Garrett made his debut with the Los Angeles Rams on the first day of training camp, lining up in a full defense for the first time since his trade from the Cleveland Browns. Defensive coordinator Chris Shula said the team had been “looking forward to this day for a long time, and it definitely lived up to it.”

Teammates echoed the excitement. Cornerback Trent McDuffie described feeling Garrett’s “aura,” calling him “gigantic” and a “monster,” while fellow newcomer Jaylen Watson expressed confidence that the revamped defense could make the Rams a serious Super Bowl contender. General manager Les Snead’s aggressive offseason moves, including the acquisition of Garrett and McDuffie, have been highlighted as key to strengthening the Rams’ defensive line.

Garrett’s presence, even in a non‑contact drill, sparked optimism that the Rams, last season’s NFC championship team, could improve on a defense that faded late in the year and compete for the league title.
