  "account": "Myles Garrett, the Los Angeles Rams' outside linebacker, will not return to practice this week as he continues to recover from knee surgery. The team confirmed that Garrett is eligible to come off injured reserve at any time, but he still needs additional time to heal. Head coach Sean McVay stated that Garrett will not come off IR just yet, leaving the team's decision to open his 21-day practice window up to them. NFL Network reported that Garrett's recovery is expected to take around six weeks, potentially putting him on track to return in Week 7. However, McVay has not yet set a specific date for Garrett's return. The Rams are being cautious and will not rush Garrett back, considering the season's length and the need for him to be available for the remainder of the games.",
  "summary": "The Rams will have to wait at least another week to have Myles Garrett back at practice.",
