  "account": "The New York Giants will avoid facing the Los Angeles Rams with star defensive player Myles Garrett in Week 2, as the injured pass-rusher undergoes arthroscopic knee surgery and will be placed on injured reserve, according to sources. The Rams, who entered the season with high expectations and were considered favorites to win the Super Bowl, will be heavily impacted by Garrett's absence. The Defensive Player of the Year, who broke the single-season sack record last season, has been dealing with lower-leg pain since training camp. The Rams acquired Garrett in a trade that included Jared Verse and three draft picks, but now they'll have to proceed without him. Meanwhile, the Giants can shift more focus to Donald, who is still getting back into the swing of things after a two-year absence.",
