Rams DE Myles Garrett's season hit with major obstacle

Los Angeles Rams defensive end Myles Garrett will undergo knee arthroscopic surgery and will be sidelined for at least four games, according to NFL insider Adam Schefter. The injury has dealt a significant blow to the Rams' defense, as Garrett was acquired in a trade from the Cleveland Browns during the offseason. Since joining the Rams, Garrett has struggled with knee pain and swelling, which has hindered his participation in recent practices.

The team anticipates his return in approximately four weeks, with the earliest possible game date being Week 6 against the Arizona Cardinals. Garrett's absence is particularly concerning for the Rams, as he has been their leading edge rusher and a dominant force in the defensive lineup. His injury marks the first time since 2018 that he did not record any tackles or sacks in a game.

The Rams' next four opponents - the New York Giants, Denver Broncos, Philadelphia Eagles, and Buffalo Bills - will likely prove to be particularly challenging without Garrett on the field.
