Rams place Myles Garrett on injured reserve after opener struggles

The Los Angeles Rams have placed linebacker Myles Garrett on injured reserve following his limited performance in the season opener against the San Francisco 49ers. Head coach Sean McVay stated that a conversation with Garrett after the game revealed the need for this decision due to his ongoing injury issue. Although the Rams are hopeful for a potential return in four weeks, McVay did not provide a specific recovery timeline. The Rams also face uncertainty with defensive star Aaron Donald's status, and McVay emphasized a focus on improving the passing game ahead of their next matchup. Josaiah Stewart will be expected to take on a larger role in Garrett's absence.
