Myles Garrett manages knee injury before Rams season opener in Australia
Summary

Los Angeles Rams defensive end Myles Garrett is dealing with knee swelling that has limited his participation during training camp. Head coach Sean McVay stated the team is taking a cautious approach with the reigning Defensive Player of the Year. The goal for Garrett is to be available for the season opener against the 49ers, which is scheduled to take place in Australia. Garrett has practiced fully only twice this summer and was previously expected to return to full team activities last week. The Rams are also monitoring the availability of Aaron Donald, whose status for the season opener remains uncertain. McVay indicated that neither player will participate if the team determines it is not in the best interest of the individual or the unit.
