Myles Garrett undergoes knee surgery and joins Los Angeles Rams injured reserve

Los Angeles Rams defensive end Myles Garrett will undergo arthroscopic surgery on his knee and is officially headed to injured reserve. The move keeps the reigning Defensive Player of the Year out of the lineup for at least four weeks. Garrett, who was acquired by the Rams this offseason, struggled with lower-leg pain during training camp and did not appear to be at full strength during a Week 1 loss to the San Francisco 49ers. The injury serves as a significant setback for the Rams as they prepare for their Week 2 matchup against the New York Giants. With Garrett sidelined, the Rams must rely on a defense that also features Aaron Donald, who recently returned from retirement. The absence of Garrett is expected to alter the protection approach for the New York Giants offensive line during Sunday's game.
