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.
- •Myles Garrett will undergo arthroscopic knee surgery to address persistent lower-leg pain.
- •The move to injured reserve mandates a minimum four-game absence for the defensive end.
- •Garrett is ineligible to return until the Week 6 game against the Arizona Cardinals.
- •The Rams face the Giants, Broncos, Eagles, and Bills during the recovery period.
