Rams deserve criticism for handling of Myles Garrett’s injury

The Los Angeles Rams are facing mounting criticism regarding their medical management of star defensive end Myles Garrett, whose knee injury timeline has stretched from a four-week recovery to roughly six weeks out. Originally characterized as a precautionary issue following initial soreness flagged on July 29, the organization opted against an immediate surgical scope during training camp.

Consequently, Garrett is slated to miss a third of his debut campaign in Los Angeles, sitting out crucial upcoming matchups against the Broncos, Eagles, and Bills after already missing contests against the 49ers, Giants, Cardinals, and Raiders depending on his eventual return. Meanwhile, teammate Puka Nacua is also dealing with an explosiveness deficiency that could require surgery if he fails to regain his pre-injury form, leaving the franchise to navigate delicate decisions regarding his long-term future and expiring rookie contract.
