Rams Delay Myles Garrett Practice Window, He Will Miss Seventh Straight Game

Team doctors are managing his arthroscopic knee recovery week to week, postponing his evaluation, keeping the Rams' pass rush weakened.

Overview

  • Coach Sean McVay said Wednesday that the Rams will not open Garrett's 21-day practice window this week and that Garrett will not practice.
  • Garrett has missed six games and will sit out his seventh after being placed on injured reserve following Sept. 17 arthroscopic surgery on his left knee.
  • McVay said Garrett has not suffered a setback and does not expect additional surgery, but the team will only activate him after medical clearance.
  • NFL rules give a team a single 21-day window to let an IR player practice before activation, so the Rams' choice to delay directly postpones any return timetable.
  • The team sent Jared Verse to Cleveland in the June trade for Garrett, and Garrett's absence has contributed to just 10 sacks this season, altering defensive plans and making Nov. 8 the next practical chance to open his window.
