Myles Garrett Held Out of Rams' Joint Practice with Cowboys; Puka Nacua Leaves Early with Injury
- On Tuesday, superstar pass rusher Myles Garrett missed the Los Angeles Rams' joint practice with the Dallas Cowboys due to knee swelling, remaining in street clothes on the sideline.
- The Rams acquired Garrett in a blockbuster trade from the Cleveland Browns on June 1, bringing the two-time AP NFL Defensive Player of the Year who recorded an NFL-record 23 sacks in the 2025 season.
- Head coach Sean McVay characterized Garrett as "85%" healthy, stressing there is "no reason for concern" and no setbacks as the team manages his recovery with caution.
- Wide receiver Puka Nacua also left the field accompanied by team trainers during the same session, though McVay provided no immediate update on his condition.
- The Rams open their preseason Saturday against the Kansas City Chiefs, with the regular-season opener against the San Francisco 49ers on September 10 marking the date that matters most for Garrett's readiness.
