Matthew Stafford, Myles Garrett get contrasting injury updates before Rams-Commanders

The Los Angeles Rams are finally starting to get healthy, which does not bode well for the rest of the league.Thankfully, reigning NFL MVP Matthew Stafford has been able to play every game this season.

But this was cast into doubt when it was reported that Stafford left the Rams’ locker room with ice on his right arm after Los Angeles’ win over the Chargers last weekend.But Rams fans can breathe easy about Stafford after NFL insider Ian Rapoport’s update on “The Pat McAfee Show” on Wednesday.

“I haven’t heard anything to have me believe Stafford won’t be ready.So I would say for that one, I would expect him to be good to go [on Sunday],” Rapoport said, per an X post from Pat McAfee.

The biggest star who remains injured is Myles Garrett, who has been sidelined since Week 1.Garrett is returning to practice this week, and Rapoport also indicated what this means for his status.

“Myles Garrett is an interesting one.I thought he was coming back last week.

Just didn’t get to a point to where he could feel comfortable enough on the knee, so it was like, ‘Don’t rush it, stretch run, be ready this week,” he added.“I was told that when he gets on the field for practice, that it should all happen very quick.So I think this week is in play, but we need to see how he actually responds.” Therefore, Stafford’s status for this weekend’s game against the Washington Commanders seems assured while Garrett’s is murkier.But even if Garrett doesn’t suit up on Sunday, he should be back on the field soon....
