The Los Angeles Rams officially place edge rusher Myles Garrett on injured reserve after a knee injury that requires surgery. Multiple outlets report the team is making the move immediately related to his status, though some note the corresponding roster adjustment had not yet been finalized at the time of reporting.
Reports say Garrett is expected to miss at least four games and could be out for roughly a month. The Athletic and CBS Sports add that he is set to undergo knee surgery—described as arthroscopic knee surgery in some coverage—following his limited first appearance for the Rams. In that debut, Garrett recorded no sacks or tackles in a lopsided loss to the 49ers.
While outlets agree on the IR placement and the surgery expectation, they vary slightly in wording about timing—using “at least four weeks” versus “at least four games”—and some provide more detail about the nature of the procedure. Overall, the focus remains on his recovery timetable and the Rams’ need to compensate for his absence on defense.
