Garrett to Play Rams in Week 1, Donald Out
9 Sep
Summary
- Myles Garrett cleared to play Week 1 against the 49ers.
- Aaron Donald will not travel to Australia for the game.
- The game is scheduled for September 10th, 2026.
The Los Angeles Rams are preparing for their Week 1 game against the San Francisco 49ers in Australia, but will be without defensive tackle Aaron Donald. Head coach Sean McVay announced that Donald will not make the trip as he continues his recovery. This news comes as the team finalizes its roster for the long journey overseas.
Conversely, McVay provided positive updates regarding recently acquired defensive star Myles Garrett. Despite concerns over a knee injury, Garrett has been deemed fit to play and will make his Rams debut against the 49ers. Garrett was acquired from the Cleveland Browns after a record-breaking 2025 season where he set a new NFL single-season sack record with 23.
The highly anticipated international game is scheduled to kick off on September 10, 2026. With Garrett ready to play, the Rams are favored to win their season opener, though they will need to adjust to their new environment after their extensive travel.
