Rams star Myles Garrett will have knee surgery, expected to miss 4 games, AP source says

Los Angeles Rams defensive end Myles Garrett is set to undergo knee surgery, which will sideline him for a minimum of four games, according to a source speaking to The Associated Press. The injury necessitates arthroscopic surgery and has been confirmed by an individual with knowledge of the star player's condition. Garrett, a two-time AP NFL Defensive Player of the Year, did not perform well in the Rams' recent 27-7 loss to San Francisco in Australia.

He is projected to return to action in Week 6. The Rams acquired Garrett in a trade involving edge rusher Jared Verse and a first-round pick in 2027 from the Cleveland Browns. Meanwhile, three-time AP NFL Defensive Player of the Year Aaron Donald rejoined the Rams after a two-year absence, but did not play in the season opener. Garrett had faced considerable practice time loss in training camp due to his knee ailment. The Ringer was the first to report on Garrett's status.
