Myles Garrett Returns to Rams Practice as 21-Day IR Window Opens

Overview

• The Rams designated Myles Garrett to return and he resumed limited practice reps on Wednesday, Nov. 4, which officially opened his 21-day window to be activated.
• Coach Sean McVay said Garrett took about half of full reps in practice and will be evaluated daily before any decision is made about game activation.
• It is uncertain whether Garrett will be activated for the Rams’ upcoming game in Landover against the Washington Commanders this Sunday because the team will monitor his response to practice.
• NFL rules give the Rams one 21-day period after a player is designated to return from injured reserve to either activate him to the 53-man roster or place him on season-ending IR, making this window decisive for roster construction.
• Garrett’s return would boost a pass rush that has relied on depth players such as Byron Young and Josaiah Stewart and would create the first live-game pairing with Aaron Donald after the Rams acquired Garrett in a high-profile June trade.
