Donald Reenacts Missed Scoop as Garrett Returns to Rams Practice
Their reunion on the field highlights a light, team-bonding moment and raises the prospect that Garrett’s availability could shift how opponents block Aaron Donald and revive the Rams’ pass rush.
Overview
- On Thursday, Aaron Donald laughed through a practice reenactment of his failed scoop-and-score from the Rams’ recent win over the Chargers, with teammates, including Myles Garrett, joking about the play.
- Myles Garrett took part in his first team practice in nearly two months on Thursday, but coach Sean McVay has not confirmed whether he will be activated from injured reserve for Sunday’s game in Landover.
- Donald has appeared in six games since coming out of retirement and remains without a sack this season as the Rams sit 4–4 after the Chargers win.
- The team made minor roster moves this week, promoting kicker Joshua Karty and adding cornerback David Long to the practice squad, while losing cornerback Jaylen Watson to season-ending injured reserve and continuing to monitor Trent McDuffie and other injured players.
- Coaches say a healthy Garrett could force opposing offenses to change protection plans by demanding extra attention on the edge, which would likely free Donald from frequent double teams and could materially increase the Rams’ pressure and sack opportunities.
