Rams’ Garrett Set for Surgery, Misses Four Games

Los Angeles Rams edge rusher Myles Garrett will undergo arthroscopic knee surgery and miss at least four games after playing through the injury in the team’s 27-7 season-opening loss to the San Francisco 49ers. Garrett, who recorded no tackles or sacks, had been limited throughout training camp, and coach Sean McVay said the team initially believed he could manage the problem before changing course after the game. McVay declined to provide a firm recovery timeline, though Garrett could potentially return when eligible in Week 6; his absence will include games against the Giants, Broncos, Eagles and Bills. The injury leaves a major gap in a Rams defense facing a challenging stretch of opponents, while the team hopes surgery prevents the problem from persisting through the season.
