Myles Garrett hits IR after Rams' ugly Week 1
A 27-7 loss was bad enough. Then the Rams lost their record-setting pass rusher to knee surgery.
In brief
A 27-7 loss was bad enough. Then the Rams lost their record-setting pass rusher to knee surgery. Garrett's knee scope puts him on IR for at least four games, so the Rams have to survive a brutal early stretch without their best defender. Originally reported by Newsweek.
A rough start in LA
The Rams opened the season with a 27-7 loss to the 49ers, and the bad news did not stop when the game ended.
Knee surgery and IR
Tom Pelissero reported Garrett is having arthroscopic surgery on his knee and going on injured reserve.
Four weeks, they hope
The Rams are targeting a return in about four weeks, which is the minimum IR stay rather than a promise.
The games he misses
Garrett sits out matchups with the Giants, Broncos, Eagles and Bills, at least. Two of those are real tests.
A quiet debut
He played Week 1 hurt and did not record a single tackle in his first game as a Ram.
What LA is missing
Last season in Cleveland he put up 60 combined tackles and set an NFL single-season record with 23 sacks.
The one thing
Garrett's knee scope puts him on IR for at least four games, so the Rams have to survive a brutal early stretch without their best defender.
