Myles Garrett will have knee surgery, head to IR

Myles Garrett is scheduled for an operative procedure on his knee and will be placed on injured reserve. The star defender faces an expected absence of four weeks while recovering from the issue.

The development emerged amid a busy slate of opening-week NFL injury updates, alongside college football upsets that saw Texas defeat Ohio State and Oklahoma State take down Oregon, as well as Elena Rybakina's victory over Aryna Sabalenka in tennis action.
