The Los Angeles Rams appear to be getting healthier as the season progresses, with quarterback Matthew Stafford expected to be ready for their upcoming game against the Washington Commanders. However, the status of star pass rusher Myles Garrett remains uncertain.
Stafford's availability was questioned after he was seen with ice on his right arm following the Rams' recent victory over the Chargers. Despite the concern, NFL insider Ian Rapoport reported on "The Pat McAfee Show" that he anticipates Stafford will be "good to go" for Sunday's contest.
Garrett, who has been sidelined since Week 1, is set to return to practice this week. Rapoport indicated that while Garrett's return to practice is a positive sign, his actual game status will depend on how he responds. "I think this week is in play, but we need to see how he actually responds," Rapoport said.
Garrett had missed the previous week due to discomfort in his knee, with the team opting not to rush his return. If Garrett is unable to play, it would be a significant absence for the Rams' defense. However, even if he doesn't play Sunday, he is expected to be back on the field soon.
