It has taken this long because Donald sat out Week 1 while easing back into football after his two-year retirement, and Garrett has been out since Week 1 recovering from knee surgery.\n\nGarrett's arrival in Los Angeles was reportedly the reason Donald came back at all, and now the Rams finally get to see what two multi-time NFL Defensive Player of the Year winners look like lined up on the same defensive front. Garrett is already relishing the idea of offenses trying to figure out which of them to account for.\n\n\"I think the offenses are really going to have to pick their poison. Who's going to be freed up this play? I think either of us are pretty good at winning one-on-one, so we'll have some fun,\" Garrett said.\n\nThe pairing also comes as the Rams look to lock down their first winning record of the season, with Trent McDuffie expected to be part of a healthier defense alongside them.","published_at":"2026-11-07T22:51:28.850708+00:00","source_count":4,"written_from":[{"outlet":"CBS Sports","publisher":"CBS Sports","title":"Pick your poison: Rams' Myles Garrett anticipates matchup nightmares in first game with Aaron Donald","url":"https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/rams-myles-garrett-anticipates-matchup-nightmares-first-game-aaron-donald/"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Myles Garrett: Offenses have to 'pick their poison' with me and Aaron Donald","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/myles-garrett-offenses-pick-poison-142937454.html"},{"outlet":"Pro Football Talk","publisher":"NBC Sports","title":"Myles Garrett: Rams' opponents will have to pick their poison, me or Aaron Donald","url":"https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/myles-garrett-rams-opponents-will-have-to-pick-their-poison-me-or-aaron-donald"},{"outlet":"The Athletic","publisher":"The Athletic","title":"Myles Garrett’s return could unleash Aaron Donald and lift an injury-hit Rams defense","url":"https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/7757758/2026/11/06/myles-garrett-return-rams-defense/"}],"more_coverage":[{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Aaron Donald hilariously reenacts failed touchdown as Myles Garrett, Rams teammates roast him","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/aaron-donald-hilariously-reenacts-failed-031401386.html"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Myles Garrett: Rams' opponents will have to pick their poison, me or Aaron Donald","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/myles-garrett-rams-opponents-pick-101922949.html"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"The 236½-sack nightmare: Aaron Donald, Myles Garrett ready to 'have some fun'","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/236-sack-nightmare-aaron-donald-123000744.html"}],"image":{"url":"https://nbcsports.brightspotcdn.com/dims4/default/68bbfa4/2147483647/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%2F420%2F367%2Fnbc_pft_ramspressure_261014.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.
