Los Angeles Rams defensive end Myles Garrett is scheduled for arthroscopic knee surgery and has been placed on injured reserve, sidelining him for a minimum of four games. The news follows a difficult season opener for the team in Melbourne, Australia.
Garrett, 30, will miss upcoming matchups including a "Monday Night Football" game against the Giants, a "Sunday Night Football" contest versus the Broncos, and a Week 4 game against the Eagles. If his recovery adheres to the minimum timeframe, he could return for the Week 6 home game against the Cardinals.
The Rams lost their season opener 27-7 to the San Francisco 49ers on Thursday. Garrett had a limited impact in that game, reportedly hampered by his injury.
