Myles Garrett is headed to IR. What does that mean for Rams?

Following an arthroscopic procedure on his knee, defensive powerhouse Myles Garrett is slated to miss a minimum of four contests and will shift to injured reserve. The two-time NFL Defensive Player of the Year had been limited throughout summer training sessions by knee trouble before enduring a quiet outing during Los Angeles's 27-7 defeat against San Francisco, which was contested in Australia.

Garrett's sidelined status delivers a massive setback to the Rams, who landed the former Texas A&M standout in a blockbuster offseason transaction with Cleveland by giving up Jared Verse alongside a 2027 opening-round draft selection and a 2028 second-round choice. With their marquee addition out for roughly a month, Los Angeles faces an immediate challenge within the competitive NFC West division.
