Myles Garrett Already Reshaping RamsPass Rush

Early camp work has produced teachable moments for teammates and forced Los Angeles to manage snaps and salary choices more tightly.

Overview

  • The Rams acquired Myles Garrett in a blockbuster trade that sent Jared Verse and multiple future draft picks to the Browns and gave Los Angeles one of the NFL’s top edge rushers.
  • Garrett spoke to the Rams’ media and showed up in early practices this week, with teammates saying his techniques and preparation are already being copied in meetings and on the field.
  • Byron Young has been learning from Garrett but sat out the team’s second practice while the Rams limit his workload for a longstanding knee issue and expect him back after a short break.
  • Los Angeles inherited Garrett’s four‑year, $160 million extension when he waived his no‑trade clause to facilitate the move, a contract detail that tightens the team’s salary‑cap and roster decisions.
  • How the pass rush ultimately looks this season will hinge on Young’s knee management and the unconfirmed possibility of Aaron Donald returning, with those factors determining snap counts and the Rams’ championship window.
