Myles Garrett returned to practice on Wednesday.
Myles Garrett is a defensive player, so he carries no direct standard fantasy relevance in the way skill-position players do — but for anyone in an IDP (individual defensive player) league, this is a clean, positive signal heading into draft season. Both sources confirm he returned to practice on Wednesday, with full confidence and no mention of a setback, limitation, or reduced workload. That's about as clean a health update as you can get in August.
For draft prep purposes, treat this as reassurance rather than a reason to move him up your board dramatically — he was already going to be valued as an elite edge rusher in IDP formats, and this simply removes any lingering worry about an offseason injury cloud affecting his availability. If you had him flagged with an injury discount, you can now erase that discount. There's nothing in the reporting suggesting this was anything more than a normal practice return, so there's no need to downgrade him for missed time or workload concerns once the season starts.
Action: no add/drop implications since he's not on standard fantasy rosters, but in IDP leagues, feel comfortable drafting him at his normal ADP without an injury-risk markdown. Confidence here is high — both sources agree fully on the same simple fact with no conflicting details. This is a "file it away and move on" update rather than one that should shift your draft strategy in a meaningful way, but it's good news worth noting if you're building a defensive-heavy roster.
Nerves were a bit frayed among Rams fans in recent days, with defensive end Myles Garrett missing four practices due to back soreness.
