The Los Angeles Rams are expected to place defensive end Myles Garrett on injured reserve after undergoing knee surgery, sidelining him for at least several weeks. Multiple outlets report that the injury involves his knee and requires a surgical procedure shortly after his first game with the team.
Reports indicate Garrett’s absence begins following his Rams debut, when he had a limited impact in a Week 1 loss to the San Francisco 49ers in Australia. While the exact timing is described slightly differently across sources, most agree he will miss at least four weeks or at least four games.
Outlets describe the procedure as arthroscopic knee surgery and characterize the move as an injured reserve placement, citing team and/or source information. Some reports focus on the immediate extent of his unavailability, while others emphasize the sequencing—surgery followed by IR—and its impact on his early-season role with the Rams.
