The Los Angeles Rams had a big test on their schedule Tuesday as they welcomed the Dallas Cowboys for a joint practice. It was another chance for Sean McVay’s team to measure itself against different personnel before the preseason opener.
Myles Garrett is the biggest addition of the Rams’ offseason. Los Angeles acquired the star pass rusher from the Cleveland Browns in a blockbuster trade and expects him to anchor a defense that has looked impressive throughout training camp. Garrett has already made an impact in practice, including a pick-six during Saturday’s session.
His absence from Tuesday’s work fueled major concerns. However, McVay’s latest update offered plenty of reason for Rams fans to relax.

Sean McVay provides reassuring Myles Garrett injury update

According to ESPN’s Sarah Barshop, Garrett told reporters he is feeling about 85%, while McVay said there have been no setbacks.
This is not the first time the Rams have taken a cautious approach with Garrett during camp. He previously missed multiple practices because of lower-body soreness before returning to work. McVay called that issue “nothing to worry about” at the time.
Rams have plenty of reason to protect Myles Garrett
There is little reason for Los Angeles to push the two-time Defensive Player of the Year in August. Garrett is entering his 10th NFL season after setting the league’s single-season sack record with 23 in 2025. He also became the first player since 1982 to record at least 12 sacks in six consecutive seasons.
The Rams will continue monitoring the swelling, but Tuesday’s decision appears to be precautionary rather than a sign of a significant setback.
