Rams Expect to Activate Myles Garrett for Sunday

Los Angeles Rams coach Sean McVay said Friday that the team expects to activate Myles Garrett from injured reserve for Sunday’s game against the Washington Commanders, provided the linebacker avoids a setback. The expectation follows Garrett’s return to practice this week after missing seven games with a knee injury. McVay announced Garrett’s likely availability before Friday’s practice. Garrett underwent arthroscopic knee surgery after the season opener and had not practiced since Week 1. He returned Wednesday and remained a limited participant Thursday, according to the Rams’ injury report. Garrett’s return is not yet confirmed. McVay said the team would evaluate him and monitor his feedback as it determines whether he is ready to play. The Rams opened a 21-day window for his return to the roster when he resumed practice, according to McVay’s earlier comments. Friday’s expectation remains conditional, and the team has not confirmed that Garrett has been activated or played. If he plays, Garrett could appear alongside defensive lineman Aaron Donald for the first time. Donald returned to the Rams after a two-year retirement but did not travel for the season opener in Australia...
