  "account": "Los Angeles Rams star pass rusher Myles Garrett is set to miss the team's upcoming road game against the Denver Broncos due to an injury. This marks his second consecutive game absence. Garrett underwent knee surgery during training camp and has been dealing with persistent swelling, leading to his placement on the injured reserve list. He previously played in the Rams' Week 1 loss to the San Francisco 49ers in Australia but was subsequently placed on the injured list on September 13. Garrett was initially expected to miss a minimum of four games, potentially returning for the Rams' home game against the Arizona Cardinals on October 18 if his recovery timeline holds. The two-time Defensive Player of the Year had missed several practices before the season opener but still managed to play against the 49ers in Australia, though his impact was minimal in the 27-7 loss. Garrett has consistently played at least 16 games per season over the past five years, with three of those seasons featuring 17 games played. The seven-time Pro Bowler was acquired by the Rams in a trade from the Cleveland Browns, receiving several picks in return, including a promising 2027 first-rounder, a 2028 second-rounder, and a 2029 third-rounder.",
