Myles Garrett makes return to Rams lineup

The Los Angeles Rams edge rusher Myles Garrett is slated to return to the team's lineup on Sunday, as he will be active for their game against the Washington Commanders. This marks Garrett's first return from a seven-game absence due to a knee injury. Garrett had only played one game for the Rams this season, a season opener against the 49ers in Australia where he recorded no tackles.

The trade-acquired defensive star makes his return after the longest absence of his NFL career. The Rams, currently sitting at 4-4, bolstered their pass rush with Garrett, who was named two-time AP NFL Defensive Player of the Year. The Commanders, who defeated the Eagles in a Sunday night matchup, are set to face a defense that includes stars Aaron Donald and Byron Young.

The Rams defense has accumulated 12 sacks entering Week 9. Garrett's return will bolster the Rams' defense, which recently lost Jaylen Watson for the remainder of the season due to a shoulder injury.
