Rams DE Myles Garrett May Not Return Until Week 9

Los Angeles Rams defensive end Myles Garrett reportedly faces a six-week recovery timeline and may not return until Week 9. The team placed Garrett on injured reserve following arthroscopic knee surgery after their season-opening loss to the San Francisco 49ers. While he is eligible to return as early as Week 6, the extended timeline could sideline him through Week 8 against the Chargers.

Head coach Sean McVay noted that the team will not rush Garrett back from injury. Los Angeles acquired the defensive end in a blockbuster offseason trade involving Jared Verse and three draft picks, aiming to preserve him for the second half of the season.
