Garrett is going to IR
Multiple reports say the Rams star edge defender will have arthroscopic knee surgery and land on injured reserve.
Four games gone
The stint costs him at least four weeks: the Giants, at Denver, at Philadelphia, then Buffalo.
Philly misses him in Week 4
The Rams visit Philadelphia in Week 4, which falls squarely inside the window Garrett is out.
“As you can see, the Rams play the Eagles in Philadelphia Week 4.”
The Rams paid a fortune
Los Angeles sent Pro Bowl edge Jared Verse plus first, second, and third round picks to Cleveland to get him.
Week 1 was already quiet
In the loss to San Francisco, Garrett finished with no tackles and no sacks before the knee sidelined him.
This is the reigning DPOY
Garrett won NFL Defensive Player of the Year in 2025 and was arguably the best player on the Rams roster.
“arguably the Rams' best player”
A pattern for the Eagles
Philadelphia also avoids Commanders left tackle Laremy Tunsil, widely seen as Washington's best player.
