Packers’ Rashan Gary Delivered Emotional Speech to Teammates After First Home Game Back From ACL Injury

Rashan Gary’s first game at Lambeau Field since his ACL injury couldn’t have gone better. Not only did he lead the defense in a comeback win over the Saints, but NFL films caught his emotional speech to his teammates who couldn’t help but celebrate the incredible moment. 

“All I wanna say, it’s an honor and a privilege every Sunday to go out there and go to war with ya’ll,” Gary told his teammates while fighting back tears. “I been working my a-- off over the past nine months. All I wanted to do is come back and be an impact.” 

And he did just that. 

Gary tore his ACL in November 2022 but was able to recover in time for the start of the season and dominated New Orleans. He finished the game with three sacks and four quarterback hits off the bench and only appeared on 12 snaps.
