Rams CB Jaylen Watson is out for season after shoulder surgery. Myles Garrett returns to practice
On Wednesday, Los Angeles Rams cornerback Jaylen Watson was ruled out for the rest of the 2026 season following shoulder surgery, head coach Sean McVay confirmed to reporters.
Watson, a two-time Super Bowl champion, aggravated the recurring shoulder injury during the Rams' 24-9 victory over the Los Angeles Chargers last Sunday, forcing the surgical decision.
Josh Wallace and former Washington Commanders first-round pick Emmanuel Forbes are expected to replace Watson on the Rams defense as the team manages secondary personnel gaps.
The Rams face compounded secondary challenges with starting cornerback Trent McDuffie missing Wednesday's practice due to a back injury and safety Kam Curl sidelined with a foot ailment.
Defensive end Myles Garrett and tight end Terrance Ferguson returned to practice, providing depth as the Rams prepare for Sunday's game despite the mounting injury challenges.
