Sean McVay Says Rams' Season Opener Made It Clear Myles Garrett Needed Knee Surgery
Knee discomfort and swelling limited star edge rusher Myles Garrett to 40 snaps in the Rams' season opener, leading to surgery and a four-game absence.
- On Monday, Los Angeles Rams head coach Sean McVay announced star pass rusher Myles Garrett will undergo knee surgery, sidelining him for at least four games on injured reserve following the season-opening loss.
- The team previously attempted to manage swelling in Garrett's knee during training camp, but playing in last Friday's 27-7 defeat to San Francisco proved the initial strategy non-viable, prompting the surgical decision.
- Garrett played 61.5% of defensive snaps without recording a tackle or sack, while the Rams' defense allowed 174 rushing yards and three touchdown passes to the Niners.

- With Garrett sidelined, the Rams will rely on Josaiah Stewart, Desjuan Johnson, and rookie Wesley Bailey to fill the void against the Giants next Monday, with Stewart having made six tackles against San Francisco.
