Los Angeles Rams star pass rusher Myles Garrett is set to undergo arthroscopic surgery on his knee, a procedure that will sideline him for a minimum of four games. The team placed him on injured reserve following his team's Week 1 loss.
Garrett, who was acquired from the Cleveland Browns in the offseason after setting a new NFL single-season sack record last year, had a difficult debut for the Rams. In the team's 27-7 loss to the San Francisco 49ers in Melbourne, Australia, Garrett did not record a single tackle.
Following the game, Garrett expressed his dissatisfaction with his performance. "This was the worst version of myself that I've put out there, and I've got to be better," he stated at the Melbourne Cricket Ground. "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." He added, "I wasn't the player that I wanted to be, and I feel like I wasn't the player I've been before when I've stepped onto that field. I've got to do what I can to get back to that."
