Josaiah Stewart Set for Expanded Role Following Garrett Injury

Los Angeles Rams second-year edge rusher Josaiah Stewart is in line for a significantly expanded starting role after star pass rusher Myles Garrett was placed on injured reserve with a knee injury. Stewart played 28 defensive snaps in Week 1 against the 49ers, earning a 75.9 PFF grade and an 80.6 coverage grade while dropping into coverage three times. Stewart tied for the rookie lead in pass-rush win rate in 2025 and steps up opposite Byron Young.
