What happened: Myles Garrett voiced anticipation about playing alongside Aaron Donald as his return from knee surgery approaches. Garrett noted he is looking forward to getting on the field and playing real snaps with Donald. The defensive end practiced all week after missing time on injured reserve.

Why it matters: Pairing two premier pass rushers bolsters the Los Angeles front for the second half of the season. The Rams have won two consecutive games to reach 4-4 and sit ninth in the NFC playoff picture. Getting Garrett back on the field alongside Donald strengthens a defense looking to push into wild-card contention.

By the numbers: Donald has made 12 tackles in 2026 through 6 games. Los Angeles is 4-4 in 2026 through 8 games on a two-game winning streak.

What to watch: The Rams host the Commanders on Sunday, with official activation moves expected ahead of kickoff.
