Myles Garrett’s playing status vs Commanders in focus as Rams DE receives positive injury update

The Rams have activated Myles Garrett from injured reserve, putting the defensive end in position to potentially return against the Washington Commanders.

Activation opens door to first appearance since Week 1

Los Angeles confirmed the transaction on Saturday after Garrett had remained on injured reserve. The move makes him eligible to play against Washington, although it does not confirm that he will take the field.

If Garrett does appear, it would mark his first game since the season opener in Week 1. His playing status is therefore expected to remain a key point of attention ahead of the matchup.

What the move means for the Rams

The activation gives the Rams the option of using their star defender against the Commanders. It also represents a change from his previous injured-reserve designation, which had kept him unavailable for selection.

With no confirmation that Garrett will play, the team’s final decision remains unresolved based on the available information. The Rams’ announcement establishes his eligibility, while his actual participation against Washington is still in focus.

Outlook

Garrett’s return would end a lengthy absence dating back to the opening week of the season. For now, the confirmed development is his activation, with his appearance against the Commanders still a possibility rather than a certainty.
