Rams star Myles Garrett turns to Ray Charles after overcoming two-month injury nightmare

LANDOVER, Md. — The sweet sounds of Ray Charles filled Myles Garrett’s ears inside the Los Angeles Rams’ locker room Sunday afternoon, a fitting soundtrack for a superstar who had finally emerged from two months of hard times.

Garrett was listening to Charles’ music following the Rams’ 20-13 victory over Washington, a game in which he recorded three sacks and a forced fumble after missing nearly two months with a knee injury.

The song “Hard Times” could have been written for Garrett’s frustrating journey back to the football field.

“I usually listen to blues or soul after games,” Garrett said. “I’ve been listening to Ray since I can remember listening to music. That’s what my mother and my grandpa put me on to.”

Asked to name his two favorite Charles songs, Garrett selected “You Are My Sunshine” and “Leave My Woman Alone.”

After Sunday’s triumphant return, the sunshine was finally back in Garrett’s life.
