Overview
- The Rams activated Myles Garrett from injured reserve on Saturday, and coach Sean McVay said Garrett is expected to play Sunday against the Washington Commanders.
- Sunday will mark the first time Garrett and Aaron Donald will line up together as teammates, a pairing opponents must now plan for when protecting the quarterback.
- Garrett underwent arthroscopic knee surgery after the season opener, missed seven games and returned to limited practice before the club opened his 21-day roster window this week.
- Team and insider reports say Garrett will be managed in snap count with heavy use on passing downs and possible early-down reps depending on how his knee responds.
- Los Angeles made immediate roster moves around the activation, including activating RB Ronnie Rivers, placing CB Jaylen Watson on injured reserve and elevating two practice-squad players, highlighting depth strains as the Rams seek more sacks after totaling just 12 through eight games.
