Los Angeles Rams Get Encouraging Intel on Myles Garrett

The Los Angeles Rams are expecting to have Myles Garrett at full strength for Week 1, when they open the regular season against the San Francisco 49ers in Australia. NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport said Garrett had “a little bit of inflammation” during training camp, but he “doesn’t expect him to be limited at all,” noting only normal maintenance. The Rams acquired Garrett in a deal that included Jared Verse and multiple draft picks, raising the stakes for his availability. The trade also helped bring Aaron Donald out of retirement, fueling expectations: The Athletic listed the Rams as prohibitive preseason Super Bowl favorites at +500, citing the pass-rush combination. Garrett’s $8.4 million cap hit is not expected to be the issue; his cap charges rise later, peaking at $48.1 million in 2030, then dropping in 2031 during a void year.
