Surgery set to sideline Rams' Garrett for a month
Los Angeles Rams outside linebacker Myles Garrett needs a knee operation which is expected to sideline him for at least four weeks.
Los Angeles Rams linebacker Myles Garrett is set to undergo knee surgery, which is expected to keep him out of action for a month. The high-profile defensive move brought Garrett from the Cleveland Browns to the Rams this summer, marking one of the biggest trades in NFL history. The two-time NFL Defensive Player of the Year made his Rams season-opening appearance against the San Francisco 49ers in Australia, but the Super Bowl favorites suffered a 27-7 loss.
Head coach Sean McVay expressed uncertainty about Garrett's recovery timeline, stating, "It's all contingent upon surgery." McVay emphasized the importance of waiting for all the necessary information before providing a definitive timeline. The Rams acknowledged that Garrett could potentially return in four weeks, but they took the situation one day at a time.
Garrett himself acknowledged the need to recover and regain his previous form, stating, "I've got to find a way to recover and get back to the player I know I can be and I've shown that I've been before."
