Garrett and Donald Will Play Together Sunday for the Rams

Their return could boost a weak sack total, reduce strain on injured cornerbacks, help the Rams chase a 5-4 mark.

Overview

Garrett and Aaron Donald are expected to line up together Sunday in Washington after Garrett was activated from the IR practice window following knee surgery.
Garrett had arthroscopic knee surgery after Week 1, completed a 21-day practice rehab and will have his snaps monitored to protect the knee.
Donald missed Week 1 while reconditioning after a two-year retirement and has been ramping up this season before rejoining the lineup.
The Rams enter the game 4-4 on a two-game winning streak with cornerback Jaylen Watson out for the year and Trent McDuffie listed as questionable, increasing the need for more consistent pressure on opposing quarterbacks.
Both players are multiple-time Defensive Player of the Year winners with a combined 236½ career sacks, a tandem that should force opponents to change protections and create more opportunities for other Rams defenders.
