Overview
- Rams coach Sean McVay said Monday that Myles Garrett will practice this week and the team will start his 21-day injured‑reserve practice window.
- Once the window is opened the Rams have 21 days to put Garrett on the 53-man roster or place him back on season-ending injured reserve.
- McVay stressed the club will monitor Garrett’s response in practice and that a multi-week ramp-up could be required before he is cleared to play.
- Los Angeles’ defense has improved during Garrett’s seven-game absence, but his return matters because injuries to other linemen have left the pass rush thin.
- Garrett was acquired in a high-cost June trade and has not yet recorded a tackle or sack for the Rams this season, which frames how the team evaluates his activation.
