One of the biggest offseason pickups across the entire league for 2026, Rams defensive end Myles Garrett, was finally back at practice on Sunday. He’s been sidelined with a knee issue for most of the preseason, making his return just as the regular season opener looms large.
The Return and the Coach’s Cryptic Update
Garrett’s absence has been a huge question mark for the Rams faithful, especially given how much hype surrounded his arrival as a premier acquisition. Coach Sean McVay kept it brief when reporters asked about Garrett’s participation on Sunday. McVay simply said, “Yep, he’s going to do some stuff.” Not exactly a detailed play-by-play, right? It leaves everyone, including the rival 49ers, wondering exactly what “some stuff” entails.
The Week 1 Showdown Down Under
The Rams are set to drop their first official Week 1 injury report on Monday, and while it’s supposed to give us some insight into Garrett’s specific injury and how much he’s actually participating, don’t expect a tell-all. The smart money says he’ll likely be listed as “limited” with that knee issue, and by Wednesday, he’s probably “questionable.” The real kicker? The Rams are kicking off their season against the 49ers on Thursday night, and it’s happening all the way in Australia! The suspense is real.
So, come Thursday night in Australia, the 49ers and literally everyone else will find out exactly if, and how much, Myles Garrett will be hitting the field. This isn’t just a game; it’s a test for a key player returning from injury right when it matters most.
