Myles Garrett’s Los Angeles Rams comeback pushed back as Sean McVay reveals latest update

Myles Garrett's return to the Los Angeles Rams is not expected to occur during Week 6, after head coach Sean McVay provided an update on the star pass rusher's recovery. Garrett is still on injured reserve following arthroscopic knee surgery and will become eligible to return after Week 5. However, McVay indicated the team would likely wait before opening his return window.

The defensive player of the year acquisition has only played one game for the Rams so far. McVay stated that Garrett is making good progress but emphasized the team's caution in rushing his return. The team wants Garrett to meet specific benchmarks before subjecting him to football-specific work to assess how his knee responds. With a projected six-week recovery timeline, Garrett's return could realistically be around Week 8, aligning with the Rams' home game against the Los Angeles Chargers.

McVay believes Garrett can quickly make up for lost practice time once cleared for football-related activities, but the team is taking a cautious approach.
