Overview
- Multiple outlets report Garrett has resumed limited practice and the Rams opened the 21-day roster window that allows them to activate him for the upcoming game against the Washington Commanders on Sunday.
- If the team activates him Garrett would play alongside Aaron Donald for the first time in a regular-season game, creating a high-end pass-rush duo the Rams hoped would lift their defense.
- Garrett missed seven games after undergoing knee surgery following the Week 1 loss in Melbourne and has taken part only in limited on-field work since returning to the team.
- The Rams enter the matchup with a 4-4 record and faded title odds, so Garrett’s availability could materially affect game plans and short-term expectations for the team’s season.
- No official roster decision has been announced and media reports describe the activation as likely but unconfirmed, with the 21-day rule and coaches’ final assessment still determining his game-day status.
