The Rams’ poor start to the season has gotten worse.
Star pass rusher Myles Garrett, the reigning NFL Defensive Player of the Year, will undergo arthroscopic knee surgery and is expected to be placed on the injured reserve list, a source confirmed Sunday to Front Office Sports.
An IR stint would require Garrett to miss at least four games. For the Rams, that would mean they’d be without him for a difficult stretch of the schedule that includes games at home against the Giants, at the Broncos and Eagles, then at home against the Bills.
He would be eligible to be activated for an Oct. 18 game at home against the Cardinals in Week 6.
Garrett did not have a sack or even a tackle in the Rams’ 27–7 loss to the 49ers in Australia to open their season Thursday night. That’s after he set the NFL’s single-season sack record with 23 last season for the Browns.
