Myles Garrett is expected to miss 6 weeks

Los Angeles Rams defender Myles Garrett will be sidelined for approximately six weeks following an arthroscopic procedure to address discomfort and swelling in his knee. The recovery timeline has stretched two weeks beyond the franchise's initial projections, ruling the star pass rusher out for upcoming matchups against the Raiders, Chargers, and Commanders.

Garrett was brought in earlier this year in a blockbuster trade with the Cleveland Browns that cost the organization Jared Verse alongside multiple draft picks, including a 2027 first-rounder.

While the marquee acquisition was intended to anchor a heavily reinforced defensive unit alongside Aaron Donald and Trent McDuffie following a Defensive Player of the Year campaign, his debut contest against the San Francisco 49ers concluded without a recorded tackle. Despite sources indicating the defender aims to accelerate his recovery schedule, team leadership intends to proceed cautiously with their high-value investment.

The organization ultimately hopes the knee cleaning will permanently eliminate the swelling issues that surfaced after his first appearance.
