Rams Visit Commanders With Myles Garrett Expected to Return

This Week 9 matchup could alter NFC standings by shifting wild-card and division prospects.

Overview

  • The Los Angeles Rams travel to Northwest Stadium to face the Washington Commanders at 1:00 PM ET on Sunday, Nov. 8, with the game airing nationally on FOX and streaming available via Fubo and out-of-market options on YouTube TV.
  • Los Angeles enters the game 4-4 after back-to-back wins and a 24-9 victory over the Chargers in which Matthew Stafford threw for 157 yards and a touchdown.
  • Washington is 2-4-1 after a 27-10 upset of the Philadelphia Eagles when Jayden Daniels passed for 217 yards and the Commanders recorded five sacks.
  • The Rams have opened Myles Garrett’s 21-day injured-reserve practice window and he is expected to be activated for Week 9, a development that could materially boost Los Angeles’ pass rush though his snap count may be managed initially.
  • A Rams win would strengthen Los Angeles’ push for a wild-card spot while a Commanders victory would keep Washington competitive in the NFC East, and the game could influence late-season roster decisions and trade-deadline planning.
