Myles Garrett will play Sunday as the Rams activate him from injured reserve
Sean McVay confirmed Myles Garrett will be activated from injured reserve and play Sunday against Washington after missing seven games with a knee injury.
The Rams are getting their star pass rusher back for Sunday.
Los Angeles coach Sean McVay confirmed Friday that Myles Garrett will be activated from injured reserve and play against the Washington Commanders after missing seven straight games following arthroscopic knee surgery.
It will be the first time Garrett and Aaron Donald are active together for the Rams since the club traded for the 2025 Defensive Player of the Year.
Cleared for Commanders
Garrett returned to practice this week after opening his IR window. McVay told reporters the edge rusher is expected to play barring a setback and that tight end Terrance Ferguson is also set to come off injured reserve.
Garrett played only the season opener in Australia before the knee issue shelved him. The Rams (4-4) rank near the bottom of the league in sacks this season.
A long-awaited pairing
Donald came out of a two-year retirement in part to share a defensive line with another multi-time Defensive Player of the Year. Garrett set the single-season sack record with 23 for Cleveland in 2025 before the offseason trade that sent Jared Verse and draft capital to the Browns.
Cornerback Trent McDuffie (back) and safety Kamren Curl (foot) are questionable for Sunday's game in Washington.
