Myles Garrett injury could doom Rams, says Super Bowl champ
Chris Canty believes the Rams' season hinges entirely on their star defensive end's health.
In brief
Chris Canty believes the Rams' season hinges entirely on their star defensive end's health. Despite adding Aaron Donald and other stars, the Rams may not survive without Myles Garrett returning quickly from injury. Originally reported by Newsweek.
Rams can't survive without Garrett
ESPN's Chris Canty, a Super Bowl XLVI champion with the Giants, says the Rams' season depends on one player: defensive end Myles Garrett.
“If [Myles Garrett] doesn't come back sooner rather than later, their season's going to be over”
Rams added defensive stars
The team brought in cornerbacks Trent McDuffie and Jaylen Watson, plus defensive lineman Aaron Donald. They're considered odds-on favorites despite the roster changes.
Defense lost key players too
Jared Verse went in the Garrett trade. Cobie Durant, Ahkello Witherspoon, Roger McCreary, and Nick Hampton all signed elsewhere on one-year deals.
49ers demolished them in Australia
San Francisco crushed the Rams 27-7 in their game down under, raising questions about the team's readiness.
Canty might have a point
While the overall roster looks strong on paper, Canty may be right about their ceiling without Garrett healthy.
In short
Despite adding Aaron Donald and other stars, the Rams may not survive without Myles Garrett returning quickly from injury.
