Rams place defensive end Myles Garrett on injured reserve
Summary

The Los Angeles Rams are moving star defensive end Myles Garrett to the injured reserve list following news that the player requires arthroscopic knee surgery. Garrett, who joined the Rams in an offseason trade from the Cleveland Browns, had been managing lower-leg pain throughout training camp. He played through the injury during the team's season-opening loss to the San Francisco 49ers in Melbourne, Australia, but did not record a tackle, sack, or quarterback hit in that game. The designation to injured reserve forces Garrett to miss at least the next four weeks of the NFL season. This absence rules him out for upcoming contests against the New York Giants, Denver Broncos, Philadelphia Eagles, and Buffalo Bills. Garrett remains eligible to return to the active roster for the Rams' Week 6 matchup against the Arizona Cardinals.
