Los Angeles Rams outside linebacker Myles Garrett is expected to play Sunday against the Commanders, barring setbacks from his knee injury. Coach Sean McVay confirmed Garrett and tight end Terrance Ferguson will be activated from injured reserve. Both returned to practice this week, with Garrett showing strong progress.
If active, Garrett will line up alongside Aaron Donald for the first time, as Donald missed Week 1 while returning from retirement. Garrett has been on IR since arthroscopic knee surgery in mid-September and missed most of training camp due to knee irritation. Ferguson returns after missing five games with a sprained ankle.
The Rams acquired Garrett in the offseason, trading Jared Verse and three draft picks to the Cleveland Browns. Garrett, the 2025 NFL Defensive Player of the Year, set a single-season sack record with 23. Cornerback Trent McDuffie remains questionable with a back injury.
