Browns NFL draft: Myles Garrett injury, surgery could impact draft

Los Angeles Rams defensive end Myles Garrett faces a multi-week absence after sustaining a knee issue that necessitates arthroscopic surgery. The former Cleveland Browns standout, who has earned AP NFL Defensive Player of the Year honors twice, will be designated for injured reserve and is projected to be sidelined for a minimum of four contests.

The medical setback follows the Rams' 27-7 defeat against the San Francisco 49ers on Thursday, September 11, 2026, played at the Melbourne Cricket Ground in Australia. Garrett experienced an ineffective showing during the Week 1 international contest, dealing an immediate blow to Los Angeles following his high-profile offseason arrival.
