Rams defensive end Myles Garrett posted a photo of himself beside a new PC setup estimated to cost $10,000 on Instagram. Rams coach Sean McVay announced Friday that Garrett will play Sunday against the Commanders.
Why it matters
The PC build highlights the growing crossover between professional sports figures and high-end PC gaming culture. Garrett's return also marks his first game since the Rams' Week 1 loss to the 49ers and his first time lined up alongside Aaron Donald.
The build includes a Ryzen 7 9800X3D CPU, an Infinity RTX 5080 GPU, an X870 AORUS Infinity motherboard, 48GB of Patriot Viper DDR5 RAM, and an AORUS Tandem OLED monitor. The Commanders' offensive line has allowed 16 sacks this season, while the cost figure is an estimate rather than a confirmed price.
