Myles Garrett and Terrance Ferguson expected to play vs. Commanders

Reinforcements are on the way for the injury-riddled Los Angeles Rams . Sean McVay told reporters on Friday that he expects both Myles Garrett and Terrance Ferguson to play against the Washington Commanders on Sunday. Both players are currently on injured reserve but the Rams plan to activate them in time for this weekend's game in Landover, Maryland. Garrett has missed the last seven games with a knee injury, while Ferguson has been sidelined for the last five games after injuring his ankle in Week 3. The returns of Garrett and Ferguson will both be huge for the Rams, who have missed them over the last month-plus. Josaiah Stewart will now take on a more limited role in the pass-rush rotation, while Ferguson steps in immediately and becomes the Rams' top pass-catching tight end. With Davante Adams out, the Rams badly need another receiving threat, and Ferguson provides just that. Garrett, meanwhile, is the reigning Defensive Player of the Year and the record-holder for the most sacks in a season (23). The Rams and Commanders kick off on Sunday at 1 p.m. ET at Northwest Stadium in Landover, Maryland.
