Rams Manage Myles Garrett’s Soreness Ahead of Australia Game

The Rams will keep Garrett out of Monday’s session, the final day of a four-day practice block, and will evaluate his condition after an off day on Tuesday. McVay indicated the team expects Garrett to be ready for the next practice block.

Garrett, the reigning NFL Defensive Player of the Year, recorded 23 sacks last season, breaking the league’s single-season sack record. He spent his first nine seasons with the Cleveland Browns before the Rams acquired him in a June trade. The Rams are preparing for a forthcoming regular-season game in Australia, prompting a cautious approach to his health.
