Myles Garrett’s Injury Timeline Revealed Ahead of Rams-Broncos ‘SNF’ Clash

In the upcoming Sunday Night Football clash, the Los Angeles Rams and Denver Broncos will face off in a highly anticipated game. Denver is on a mission to secure their first win of the season, having started with a loss to the San Francisco 49ers in Australia. Myles Garrett, the reigning Defensive Player of the Year, was limited in that game due to a knee injury.

Garrett has now been placed on injured reserve and is expected to be out for an extended period. It has been reported that he will recover for six weeks before returning to action, a timeline that has been extended from the initial four-week recovery period.

Garrett has expressed a desire to return to the field sooner than the timeline allows, but the Rams' coaching staff will be cautious in determining his readiness, according to ESPN NFL insider Ian Rapoport. The Rams' defense, currently ranked sixth in the NFL, has bolstered its lineup with the addition of two new cornerbacks, Jaylen Watson and Trent McDuffie, following the offseason.

Moreover, defensive tackle Aaron Donald recently returned from retirement and made an immediate impact against the Giants during his first game in over two years.

Despite losing their star quarterback in Week 2 to an injury, the Rams displayed strong defensive play with a 28-6 victory over the New York Giants. When the Rams take on the Broncos at Empower Field at Mile High, they will face the unique challenge of playing on the road at a high-altitude venue. Denver, currently struggling to secure wins, enters the matchup as a slight underdog. The Los Angeles Rams are set to host the Denver Broncos on NBC at 8:20 p.m. ET.
