Los Angeles Rams star defensive end Myles Garrett is currently sidelined from practice. Coach Sean McVay confirmed that Garrett is sitting out to manage some soreness in his lower half. This marks the third consecutive day that the pass rusher has been kept off the field during the current training camp block.
Despite the absence, the team maintains that there is no cause for concern. McVay described the decision as a cautious approach, noting that the staff is prioritizing Garrett’s health to keep him fresh for the season ahead. The team plans to re-evaluate his status after the upcoming off day on Tuesday.
McVay stated that he expects Garrett to return to the field for the following block of practices. The coaching staff is focused on managing his workload carefully as he settles into the new defensive scheme. They remain committed to ensuring he is ready for the upcoming games.
Garrett joined the Rams via trade this past June after playing his first nine professional seasons with the Cleveland Browns. As the reigning league defensive player of the year, he is a focal point of the Rams' defense. Last season, he set an NFL record with 23 sacks, proving his impact on the field.
The Rams are keeping a close watch on his physical condition as they prepare for the season. The team is balancing his recovery with their training schedule to maintain his peak performance.
