Rams HC Sean McVay Confirms Massive Myles Garrett News

The Los Angeles Rams are set to receive a significant defensive upgrade ahead of their Week 9 matchup against the Washington Commanders. Head coach Sean McVay has confirmed that star defensive lineman Myles Garrett will suit up for the game, provided there are no unforeseen complications. Garrett, a generational pass rusher, was acquired by the Rams in a high-profile trade from the Cleveland Browns prior to the 2026 season.

However, the Texas native suffered a knee injury during his initial appearance with the Rams in Week 1. Following arthroscopic surgery, Garrett was placed on injured reserve, forcing him to miss the team's subsequent seven outings. Garrett experienced limited practice time on Wednesday and Thursday as the Rams prepared for Sunday's crucial game against the Commanders.

The Rams initiated their season as clear Super Bowl favorites, boasting a 4-4 record to start the campaign. However, they have shown signs of improvement, securing victories in their last two contests against the Las Vegas Raiders and Los Angeles Chargers. Sunday's clash against the Commanders is scheduled to commence at 1 p.m. ET.
