Garrett suffered a knee injury in Week 1 that required arthroscopic surgery, sidelining him for roughly two months.\n\nMcVay told reporters the team expects to activate Garrett \"barring any sort of setbacks,\" setting up his first appearance alongside Aaron Donald, a pairing Garrett has said he is looking forward to. The Rams went 4-3 during Garrett's absence and currently sit at 4-4 on the season.\n\nThe defense has held up without him, ranking fourth in the league in opponent passing yards per game and fifth in opponent total yards per game, though it sits tied for 26th in sacks. Garrett's return adds another dimension to a pass rush that has gotten by on coverage and scheme rather than pressure up front.\n\nThe Rams host, or rather travel to, Washington on Sunday for the Week 9 matchup, with kickoff set for 1 p.m. ET.","published_at":"2026-11-06T22:50:22.005201+00:00","source_count":5,"written_from":[{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Rams’ Myles Garrett is ‘looking forward’ to finally pairing up with Aaron Donald","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/rams-myles-garrett-looking-forward-233805630.html"},{"outlet":"New York Post","publisher":"New York Post","title":"Myles Garrett reveals heartbreaking toll of knee injury ahead of Rams return","url":"https://nypost.com/2026/11/06/sports/myles-garrett-reveals-painful-two-month-absence-details-knee-injury-ahead-of-rams-return/"},{"outlet":"Fox Sports","publisher":"Fox Sports","title":"Sean McVay Gives Myles Garrett Update For Rams; Superstar Poised To Return?","url":"https://www.foxsports.com/stories/nfl/myles-garrett-injury-update-rams-news"},{"outlet":"Pro Football Talk","publisher":"NBC Sports","title":"Sean McVay confirms Myles Garrett will play on Sunday","url":"https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/sean-mcvay-confirms-myles-garrett-will-play-on-sunday"},{"outlet":"ESPN","publisher":"ESPN","title":"Sources: Rams' Garrett on track for return vs. Commanders","url":"https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/50400738/sources-rams-myles-garrett-track-return-vs-commanders"}],"more_coverage":[{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Rams got great news about Myles Garrett","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/rams-got-great-news-myles-181218052.html"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Uh-oh: Rams’ Myles Garrett reportedly on track to play Commanders in NFL Week 9","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/uh-oh-rams-myles-garrett-184035004.html"},{"outlet":"New York Post","publisher":"New York Post","title":"Rams superstar edge rusher Myles Garrett will play against Commanders","url":"https://nypost.com/2026/11/06/sports/rams-edge-rusher-myles-garrett-rules-active-against-commanders/"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Rams' Myles Garrett (knee) set to return this week vs. Commanders","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/breaking-news/article/rams-myles-garrett-knee-set-to-return-this-week-vs-commanders-190940222.html"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Myles Garrett expected to return for Rams this weekend after 7-game injury absence.","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/myles-garrett-expected-return-7-190930930.html"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Myles Garrett expected to make his return for Rams vs. Commanders","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/myles-garrett-expected-return-rams-192413495.html"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Sean McVay confirms Myles Garrett will play on Sunday","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/sean-mcvay-confirms-myles-garrett-192406382.html"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"We're finally going to see Myles Garrett and Aaron Donald as teammates","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/were-finally-going-see-myles-201310075.html"}],"image":{"url":"https://nbcsports.brightspotcdn.com/dims4/default/008800a/2147483647/strip/false/crop/1920x1080+0+0/resize/1920x1080!/quality/90/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fhdliveextra-a.akamaihd.net%2FHD%2Fimage_sports%2FNBCU_Sports_Group_-_nbcsports%2F711%2F231%2Fnbc_pft_staffordelbow_261105.jpg","credit":"Pro Football Talk","width":1920},"embed":null,"license":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/","attribution":"Analysis data is licensed CC BY 4.0.
