The Story in 60 Seconds

Los Angeles Rams pass rusher Myles Garrett is facing an estimated six-week recovery timeline following arthroscopic knee surgery. The 30-year-old superstar was previously placed on injured reserve after playing through discomfort in the Rams' season-opening 27-7 loss to the San Francisco 49ers in Melbourne, Australia.

Garrett joined the Rams from Cleveland on a five-year, $208 million restructured contract. While eligible to return in Week 6, his revised rehabilitation pushes a potential comeback to Week 9 against the Washington Commanders on November 8, potentially causing him to miss games against the Arizona Cardinals, Las Vegas Raiders, and Los Angeles Chargers.
