Commanders face injured star Myles Garrett
7 Nov
Summary
- Commanders suffer multiple season-ending injuries to key players.
- Rams star Myles Garrett is poised for return after injury.
- Garrett anticipates facing Donald in his return game.
The Washington Commanders are enduring a challenging season, exacerbated by a rash of injuries. Key players, including wide receiver Terry McLaurin and defensive tackles Daron Payne and Javon Kinlaw, have been lost for the season since Week 6. Reserve wide receiver Dyami Brown also sustained an injury in practice this week, potentially ending his season. These setbacks have Washington fortunate to hold a 2-4-1 record.
Adding to their difficulties, the Commanders are scheduled to face the Los Angeles Rams on Sunday. The Rams, who have also dealt with injuries, are anticipating the return of two-time NFL Defensive Player of the Year Myles Garrett. Garrett, who had knee surgery in June, is expected to play in his first game since the procedure. His potential return means Washington may face him without their star left tackle, Laremy Tunsil.
This game could mark the first time Garrett plays alongside fellow two-time Defensive Player of the Year Aaron Donald. Rams head coach Sean McVay expressed optimism about Garrett's progress, noting his significant impact in practice. Garrett himself commented on the potential challenge offenses will face, stating, "I think the offenses really have to pick their poison." Washington hopes any 'fun' for the Rams' defense is delayed.
