  "account": "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.\"",
