Rams Host Giants Monday Night With Aaron Donald Expected to Return

Myles Garrett’s placement on injured reserve weakens Los Angeles’s pass rush and raises the stakes for a Giants secondary already hampered by injuries.

Overview

  • The New York Giants visit the Los Angeles Rams at SoFi Stadium on Monday, Sept. 21, with kickoff at 8:15 p.m. ET and a national broadcast on ESPN and ABC.
  • Los Angeles returns home after a 27-7 Week 1 loss in Melbourne and will be without newly injured edge Myles Garrett after knee surgery, while Aaron Donald is expected to make his season debut.
  • The Rams’ final injury report lists Puka Nacua as questionable (hip), Kamren Kinchens out (hamstring), and Jordan Whittington doubtful (quad), changes that could alter Los Angeles’s passing attack.
  • The Giants enter 1-0 after a 28-20 win over Dallas and strong play from Jaxson Dart, but their cornerback group is thin with Paulson Adebo on injured reserve, Deonte Banks doubtful, and Greg Newsome III uncertain.
  • Betting markets make the Rams roughly 7-point favorites with an over/under near 47.5 points, and models and sportsbooks are treating Donald’s return and the teams’ injury lists as key factors for game and player props.
