Rams star Myles Garrett to undergo knee surgery, likely heading to injured reserve

Following a 27-7 season-opening defeat against the San Francisco 49ers played in Australia on Thursday, the Los Angeles Rams are facing a significant setback on defense. High-profile offseason acquisition Myles Garrett is slated to undergo knee surgery and will subsequently be designated for injured reserve after just one appearance with the franchise.

The former Cleveland Browns All-Pro pass rusher and Texas A&M standout is expected to be sidelined for a minimum of four contests.

His absence creates a notable void for Los Angeles ahead of a challenging upcoming schedule that features matchups with opponents such as the Denver Broncos, Buffalo Bills, and a Week 4 clash with the Philadelphia Eagles. 2 million, leaves behind early questions regarding the Rams' defensive front after a disappointing debut.
