Rams star Myles Garrett has suffered a setback in training camp. Getty
The Los Angeles Rams have a Myles Garrett problem.
It is something that Rams head coach Sean McVay has downplayed. But the fact of the matter is that the Rams paid a significant price for the reigning Defensive Player of the Year, making any changes to his status noteworthy.
That is particularly true so early in the process, even just considering the timeframe of the Rams’ training camp.
Rams’ Myles Garrett Battling Issue in Training Camp
The Rams gave up three draft picks, including their 2026 first-round pick, and 2024 Defensive Rookie of the Year Jared Verse in the trade for Garrett. But the former Cleveland Browns star drew attention over the past few sessions due to his absence.
Asked directly, McVay said it was “a little soreness.”
However, the Super Bowl champion head coach also said that the issue Garrett is dealing with is “nothing to worry about.”
“We’re erring on the side of being smart with him,” McVay told reporters on August 2. “He is as tough as it gets. And so, we want to make sure that he feels as good as possible. And so, I think, as you know, guys that have played a lot of football, we’ve got a lot of opportunities to be able to get better. But we also want to make sure that we’re getting an understanding of, all right, how to work best with him, and he’s been outstanding. But there was a little bit of soreness, and we said, ‘Let’s err on the side of caution.’ And then we’ll see.”
That plan includes rest, with McVay saying, “ He won’t be on tomorrow, either. And then we’ll see what it looks like after the day off. I don’t want to put the cart before the horse, but I would expect him to be ready to go in the next block.”
The Rams break their training camp into four-day blocks.
They completed Day 2 of Block 2 on Sunday, when McVay delivered the update on Garrett’s status to the media.
