The Los Angeles Rams are gunning for their third straight win this Sunday, hitting the road cross-country to take on the Washington Commanders. Kickoff is set for 10 a.m. PST from Northwest Stadium in Landover, Maryland. The Commanders roll in with a 2-4-1 record, fresh off a 27-10 victory against the Philadelphia Eagles.
Daniels Returns, Rams Defense Faces a Challenge
Washington’s offense might be ranked in the bottom third of NFL teams for the season, but don’t sleep on them entirely. They have shown a slight upward trend over their last three games, thanks to the return of quarterback Jayden Daniels from injury. And here’s the kicker: Daniels hasn’t thrown a single interception all season in 2026! While injuries have definitely been a roadblock for both him and the team since his Rookie of the Year performance back in 2024, he’s still a dangerous weapon. The Rams, especially, have had their struggles defending athletic quarterbacks who can extend drives with their legs, and Daniels is definitely adept at that. He does a good job spreading the ball around to his receiving targets, with veteran Stefon Diggs and rookie Antonio Williams being the main guys. Expect them to be busy on Sunday, especially with secondary receivers Dyami Brown (calf) and Treylon Burks (foot) both ruled out due due to injury. The Commanders’ run game, however, has been a different story, with Rachaad White and Jacory McCrosky-Merritt combining for a paltry 439 yards.
Garrett Is Back For the Rams, Ferguson Out
On the Rams’ side, the big news is the expected return of edge rusher Myles Garrett. He is back from the Injured Reserve List and this will be his first action since Week 1, which is a massive boost for that defense. Tight end Terrance Ferguson was also anticipated to play after missing five weeks, but unfortunately, he has been downgraded to out for the game.
