Myles Garrett got on the practice field with the Rams for the first time on Monday and he began to acclimate himself into life with a new team.
It’s also a new defense, but it doesn’t sound like Garrett is going to have to spend too many late nights in the playbook to be ready to take the field. Defensive coordinator Chris Shula invoked some big names on Monday while talking about how the team views integrating Garrett into the scheme.

We’re gonna work with him and put him in the best spots that we think for him and the defense to succeed.”
