Myles Garrett's participation in practice has been limited as he deals with swelling in his knee, raising questions about his availability for the Los Angeles Rams' season opener against the San Francisco 49ers. Head coach Sean McVay stated on Monday that Garrett is making 'good progress' and that the goal has been to have him ready for the game in Australia. Garrett, the reigning NFL Defensive Player of the Year, recorded a league-high 23 sacks in the 2025 season with the Cleveland Browns. The Rams are taking a cautious approach with Garrett, who has only fully participated in practice twice this summer. McVay noted that while Garrett is trending towards being ready for Week 1, the team has not provided updates on Aaron Donald's availability for the game. McVay emphasized that if playing is not in the best interest of either player, they would not participate in the game. The Rams had hoped Garrett would return to practice last week, but that did not occur.
