Myles Garrett is Finally Returning to Practice for the Rams

The Los Angeles Rams are finally taking the plastic off the most expensive piece of furniture in their house.

Head coach Sean McVay announced that Los Angeles is opening the 21-day practice window for star edge rusher Myles Garrett this week, ending a month-long waiting game for the franchise's biggest offseason acquisition.

"Tom Pelissero reported that Sean McVay announced the team will open Garrett's practice window this week."

Garrett has been parked on injured reserve since September after needing arthroscopic knee surgery following Week 1 against the San Francisco 49ers. Remember, the Rams shipped Jared Verse and a pile of draft picks to the Cleveland Browns in June to land the two-time Defensive Player of the Year. Getting exactly zero tackles out of him before sending him to the operating room is the kind of return on investment that usually gets a crypto bro indicted.

For context, Garrett is coming off an absurd 2025 campaign where he logged an NFL-record 23 sacks. You do not trade premium assets for that kind of historic production just to have him wear sweatpants on the sideline.

Now, the 4-4 Rams are getting a massive reinforcement right as they try to make a move in the NFC West. They just suffocated the Los Angeles Chargers in a 24-9 win, and dropping a healthy Garrett into that defensive front completely changes how the betting markets will price this team's ceiling going forward.

Los Angeles has 21 days to officially activate him to the 53-man roster. If Garrett is actually ready to go and looks anything like the guy who broke the sack record last year, opposing quarterbacks are about to have a very bad time.
