Ian Rapoport’s Myles Garrett injury update brings ‘optimism’

If Garrett can find a way to get back on the field as early as next week, the Rams might be in good shape for the rest of the season. There’s no doubt that they’ve missed his presence on defense, and they haven’t been able to get as much pressure on the quarterback as they want. Insert Garrett back into the lineup, and a lot of things can change.

It’s a reason why the Rams moved off most of their assets to acquire Garrett during the offseason, and the hope is that he can show it was still worth it when he suits up again.

The Rams have a matchup against the Los Angeles Chargers this week, who have yet to win a game this season. If they can take care of business there, sitting at 4-4 doesn’t sound too bad. As the season goes on, they’ll keep getting some of their key players healthy, which will also be good for them.

After this week, all eyes will be on Garrett to see if he returns to the field.
