Myles Garrett to reportedly undergo knee surgery, miss at least four weeks after struggling in Week 1 loss
Follow
Following a difficult debut with the Los Angeles Rams, defensive end Myles Garrett is slated to undergo an arthroscopic knee procedure and will be shifted to injured reserve. The move sidelines the reigning Defensive Player of the Year for a minimum of four weeks, which includes missing an upcoming Week 4 clash against the Philadelphia Eagles.
The former Cleveland Browns standout arrived as a major offseason acquisition carrying a 208.2 million dollar price tag, but he now faces an extended absence.
Garrett's injury update arrives on the heels of a 27-7 season-opening defeat against the San Francisco 49ers held in Melbourne, Australia. During that international contest, the edge rusher recorded zero tackles, zero sacks, and no quarterback pressures.
Garrett openly acknowledged his substandard outing after the game, and the impending surgery adds immediate concern to the start of his tenure in Southern California.
