The Rams are likely taking a precautionary approach with Garrett. Splash offseason moves only matter if the star player is healthy enough to contribute in the regular season and into the playoffs. McVay and the Rams don't need Garrett for training camp. They need him ready for Week 1 against the San Francisco 49ers in Melbourne, Australia.
Garrett isn't the only player whose workload is being managed by the team. Matthew Stafford, Davante Adams, and Byron Young have all received lighter-than-usual workloads in the early going of training camp.
