Buffalo Bills won’t face Myles Garrett on MNF in Week 5

The Los Angeles Rams are facing a significant setback after acquiring Myles Garrett in an offseason trade, as the star defensive end requires arthroscopic surgery on his injured left knee. Following a limited training camp workload caused by the issue, Garrett struggled in the team's 27-7 season-opening defeat against the San Francisco 49ers at the Melbourne Cricket Ground in Australia, finishing without a quarterback pressure or hit.

The defender attributed his muted outing to the physical limitation, which has now led Los Angeles to place him on injured reserve.

Garrett is slated to sit out a minimum of four contests during a challenging upcoming schedule, ensuring he will be unavailable for matchups that feature both the Denver Broncos and Buffalo Bills. The absence guarantees that Buffalo will avoid contending with the elite edge rusher when they meet Los Angeles on Monday Night Football during Week 5.
