It's been a while since we got to see the all-world defender, Myles Garrett, suit up for the Los Angeles Rams. The two-time Defensive Player of the Year and seven-time All-Pro hasn't played since Week 1, as a knee injury significantly limited his initial possible impact for Los Angeles. Garrett underwent surgery afterward and is still in the ramp-up/recovery phase from the procedure.
As it stands, Garrett will not play on Sunday in a home game against the Arizona Cardinals. He's also not necessarily any closer to a return because he didn't even practice this week, which would be the clearest sign that the superstar's comeback is imminent.
It is worth noting that Week 7 (a.k.a. next Sunday) would mark about six weeks for Garrett on his initial
recovery timeline from his surgery. That appears to be what the Rams are targeting for their most impactful defensive player, as they will visit the Las Vegas Raiders. Barring a setback, we should expect to see him then:

At the time of this writing, the Rams have allowed at least 30 points in two of their last three games. Needless to say, Garrett is the kind of player who can shift their performance for the better, especially as we look ahead to the second half of the season.
