Rams place Myles Garrett on injured reserve, will miss Week 3 game against Broncos
Star pass rusher Myles Garrett has been moved to injured reserve after knee surgery, sidelining him for at least four games, including the Broncos matchup in Week 3.
The Los Angeles Rams announced that pass rusher Myles Garrett will undergo knee surgery and be placed on injured reserve, ruling him out for a minimum of four games. The move was reported by NFL Network league insider Ian Rapoport and means Garrett will miss the Week 3 primetime contest against the Denver Broncos.
Garrett’s absence comes after the Rams’ loss to the San Francisco 49ers in Australia, a game that highlighted the team’s defensive challenges. While the Rams will have Aaron Donald back on the roster, the 35-year-old is expected to see limited snaps as he returns from a two-year hiatus.
The Broncos, whose offensive line is considered among the league’s strongest, will now face a Rams front seven without Garrett’s pass-rushing threat. The Broncos must first play the Kansas City Chiefs on the road and then host the Jacksonville Jaguars before turning their attention to the Rams.
Both teams are dealing with injury concerns as the NFL season progresses, and the Rams will need to adjust their defensive strategy without Garrett.
