The Los Angeles Rams have had 10 days to recover from their season-opening loss to the San Francisco 49ers in Australia, a 27-7 setback in which star offseason acquisition Myles Garrett was ineffective due to an injured knee that he had surgically repaired last week and landed him on injured reserve. Fellow pass-rushing virtuoso Aaron Donald is expected to make his season debut in Week 2 of the 2026 NFL season, but the Rams could be without wide receiver Puka Nacua because of a hip injury.

ET on Monday Night Football at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, Calif. The 25-year-old wideout, who led the NFL last season with 129 receptions, hauled in five passes for 74 yards in Los Angeles' Week 1 loss to San Francisco. Three-time NFL Defensive Player of the Year Donald is attempting a comeback after going into retirement following the 2023 season.
The 35-year-old defensive end, who has registered 111 sacks in 154 career games, likely will receive limited playing time against the Giants. New York began its 2026 campaign with a 28-20 home triumph over the Dallas Cowboys as Jaxson Dart completed 23-of-29 pass attempts for 230 yards and three touchdowns. A pair of those scoring passes went to tight end Isaiah Likely, who was making his debut with the club after spending the first four years of his NFL career with the Baltimore Ravens under new Giants head coach John Harbaugh.
Including two playoff meetings, the Rams are 30-17 against the Giants in the all-time series and have won the last four matchups. New York hasn't defeated Los Angeles since 2016, when it posted a 17-10 victory on the road to extend its winning streak in the series to seven games. There are only three games on Monday's MLB schedule as the league begins the final week of the regular season.
One is the opener of a three-game series between a pair of American League East rivals as the Toronto Blue Jays (77-79) take on the Baltimore Orioles (75-81) at 6:35 p.m. The reigning AL champions Blue Jays, who have lost four of their last six contests, hope to keep alive their slim playoff hopes as they are three games behind the Chicago White Sox for the third wild card with six remaining. Baltimore has yet to be officially eliminated, but after a three-game sweep at the hands of the Milwaukee Brewers over the weekend, it trails Chicago by five games with six to play.
