With Myles Garrett Back, Rams Finally Field (Most Of) Superteam
Garrett and Aaron Donald teamed up for the first time.
The Los Angeles Rams unveiled a nearly complete "superteam" Sunday at their home stadium, with defensive star Myles Garrett returning from knee surgery to join fellow defensive All-Pro Aaron Donald on the field. The duo's combined five NFL Defensive Player of the Year awards and an estimated $368.4 million in career earnings underscore their elite status.
Quarterback Matthew Stafford, the NFL's reigning MVP, connected with standout wide receiver Puka Nacua on offense. The Rams' return to form was evident as they defeated the Washington Commanders 20-13, continuing their recent resurgence. Garrett's return provided much-needed confidence, although he admitted he was not yet at his best.
Nacua suffered a knee injury during the game, requiring an MRI; the Rams also lacked wide receiver Davante Adams, who is sidelined with a hamstring injury, and cornerback Trent McDuffie, who was on the inactive list due to a back injury. Despite these setbacks, the Rams' roster moves have bolstered their competitiveness, signaling potential for a stronger playoff run.
