Rams defensive end Myles Garrett to undergo knee surgery after week 1
Summary

Los Angeles Rams defensive end Myles Garrett faces knee surgery following an unproductive debut in the team's 27-7 loss to the 49ers in Australia. Garrett recorded no tackles, sacks, or quarterback hits during the Week 1 game. His injury announcement follows a high-profile offseason trade that sent Jared Verse and three future draft picks to the Cleveland Browns in exchange for his services. The veteran defensive end could be placed on the injured reserve list, which would require him to sit out at least four games. If placed on the list, Garrett would miss upcoming matchups against the New York Giants, Denver Broncos, Philadelphia Eagles, and Buffalo Bills. Garrett characterized his performance against the 49ers as the worst version of himself.
