Report: Rams DL Myles Garrett to undergo knee surgery

Los Angeles Rams defensive standout Myles Garrett is slated to undergo an arthroscopic procedure on his knee, prompting the franchise to designate him for injured reserve. The two-time AP NFL Defensive Player of the Year will be sidelined for a minimum of four contests following the medical intervention, an outcome that emerges just one week into his tenure with the team.

Garrett's physical setback follows a quiet showing during the Rams' 27-7 defeat against the San Francisco 49ers, which took place in Melbourne, Australia at the Melbourne Cricket Ground. The former Cleveland Browns All-Pro edge rusher is now forced to pause his inaugural campaign in Los Angeles while addressing the joint issue.
