Garrett expected to play Sunday despite missing practice all week

McDuffie is questionable for the Rams road game at the Cardinals.

Myles Garrett sat out practice all week with a knee injury but is still expected to suit up Sunday when the Rams travel to face the Arizona Cardinals. Cornerback Trent McDuffie carries a questionable tag into the same game.

Garrett's knee issue had already cost him seven games this season before he returned last week and looked like himself, racking up three sacks and a forced fumble in the Rams' 20-13 win over the Washington Commanders. He played 61.5% of the defensive snaps in that outing.

Coach Sean McVay said the plan is to keep managing Garrett's workload rather than push him. "He's had a really good week," McVay said. "Played a bunch of snaps, and expect him to be able to build on that. But we're being smart with him." Garrett himself was mostly satisfied with how he moved, though he flagged his endurance and a slow get-off time as areas to sharpen.

The Rams list Garrett as questionable for the rematch with Arizona, but the expectation inside the building remains that he plays.
