Rams star Myles Garrett could reportedly be sidelined longer than expected

Los Angeles Rams edge defender Myles Garrett might miss nearly half the upcoming schedule following an arthroscopic procedure on his left knee. Initially given a six-week recovery projection after undergoing surgery, the star defender could potentially remain sidelined until a November matchup against the Washington Commanders.

Although the reigning Defensive Player of the Year is eager to accelerate his rehab, the organization prefers a cautious approach.

Garrett was placed on the injured reserve list for a mandatory four-game absence following a quiet performance in the team's opening loss to the San Francisco 49ers, a contest that followed a knee issue persisting through training camp. The star defender arrived in Los Angeles during the offseason through a major trade with the Cleveland Browns that involved Jared Verse and several draft picks.

Head coach Sean McVay has refrained from providing a definitive target date for his comeback, though the earliest possible return would occur against the Arizona Cardinals.
