The Los Angeles Rams are still going to be without their star pass-rusher Myles Garrett for a little while longer, that’s the word from head coach Sean McVay. He told reporters Saturday that Garrett isn’t expected to return to practice at any point this week leading up to their October 18th matchup with the Arizona Cardinals. That’s a huge blow, even if it feels expected at this point.
The Big Update From Sean McVay
Look, McVay confirmed Garrett’s recovery is on track, which is good news for the long haul. But what really matters for the immediate future is he flat out won’t be ready to suit up against Arizona. That means the Rams defense has to find a way to get it done without one of the league’s top talents. Garrett, a seven-time Pro Bowler, has been sidelined on injured reserve after undergoing arthroscopic knee surgery. That surgery came after their season-opening loss to the San Francisco 49ers, and it’s clear he’s still got a bit to go before he’s back terrorizing quarterbacks.
What’s Next for the Rams
So, the Rams are staring down an October 18th game against the Arizona Cardinals, and they’re doing it without Myles Garrett on the field. The recovery is tracking right, which is the most important thing for the player’s health, but for the team, it means continuing to navigate a tough stretch without their defensive anchor. Keep an eye out for how they adjust and who steps up to fill those huge shoes on defense.
