  "account": "Myles Garrett is set to return to the Los Angeles Rams for their upcoming game against the Washington Commanders on Sunday, following a seven-game absence due to a knee injury. The two-time AP NFL Defensive Player of the Year was acquired by the Rams in a summer trade, but has appeared in only one game thus far. Coach Sean McVay confirmed Garrett's likely availability, barring any unforeseen setbacks, during a Friday practice session. The Rams, currently at 4-4, welcome Garrett back after he sat out the entire season opener and was sidelined due to the knee injury that plagued him throughout training camp. He underwent surgery in Melbourne and returned to practice this week. Although the Rams' pass rush has struggled in Garrett's absence, the team is optimistic that his return will significantly improve their performance. Tight end Terrance Ferguson is also expected to return to the lineup against Washington, after being sidelined since September with an ankle sprain. However, the Rams' secondary is facing a significant setback. Cornerback Jaylen Watson has been out for the season with a shoulder injury, and fellow starter Trent McDuffie is questionable for Sunday due to a back injury. Safety Kam Curl also has a foot injury, further complicating the team's defensive prospects.",
