Rams update on Stafford's status and Garrett's return outlook

The Los Angeles Rams are managing the statuses of quarterback Matthew Stafford and defensive end Myles Garrett as they prepare for upcoming games. Stafford, who was seen with ice on his right elbow after a Week 8 win, is expected to play despite some soreness, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Meanwhile, Garrett, sidelined since Week 1 with a knee issue after surgery, is being monitored closely, with McVay indicating a cautious but optimistic approach towards his return. Garrett's practice window has opened, suggesting that he may be close to returning if his condition improves. The Rams face scheduling challenges, having no bye week until Week 11, further complicating recovery efforts for injured players.
