Rams: Myles Garrett's Return Gets New Timeline

The Los Angeles Rams find themselves without two of their top defensive linemen as they prepare for a crucial Week 4 matchup. Myles Garrett, a preseason favorite to win the Super Bowl, has been sidelined since Week 1 due to a knee injury that necessitated surgery. Garrett's return timeline remains uncertain, with reports suggesting he could be back by October 18 or October 25.

Meanwhile, defensive tackle Aaron Donald has also been ruled out for the Philadelphia Eagles game on Sunday. The Rams, who are currently 1-2, are on the road to face the 2-1 Eagles, who are coming off a loss to the Chicago Bears. The Eagles will be eager to secure a win against the depleted Rams. Sources from the Rams indicate that Garrett could return by the time Los Angeles plays the Las Vegas Raiders on October 25, with a six-week absence considered the worst-case scenario for the team.

As the Rams navigate their challenging schedule, they desperately need wins to remain competitive, especially with their poor start against playoff teams. If the Eagles' Aaron Donald returns for their upcoming game against the Buffalo Bills, it would greatly benefit Los Angeles. Garrett's effectiveness during the season opener against the 49ers, where he recorded no tackles, highlights the importance of his return.

The Rams are counting on Garrett to be the player he was last season, who recorded 23 sacks for the Browns.
