MYLES GARRETT SET FOR KNEE SURGERY AFTER ONE RAMS APPEARANCE

Myles Garrett is set to undergo arthroscopic surgery on his knee, according to a report citing a source with knowledge of the situation. The Los Angeles Rams defensive end is expected to be placed on injured reserve as a result, the report said. Garrett, who signed a contract reported to be worth $208 million, made just one appearance for the Rams before the injury. That outing came in the team's Week One fixture against the San Francisco 49ers. Reports said he was limited during that appearance. Further details on how the injury occurred were not disclosed.

Being placed on injured reserve means a player must miss a set number of games under NFL rules before returning to the active roster. Reports did not specify how long Garrett is expected to be sidelined following the procedure. Garrett plays as an EDGE rusher, a position focused on pressuring the opposing quarterback. His single appearance for the Rams came in the club's opening fixture of the season, against the 49ers. No further medical details, including the specific nature of the knee problem, were included in the reports. The surgery news was reported by outlets citing sourcing rather than an official statement from the Rams.

The Rams had not issued their own confirmation of Garrett's surgery or injured reserve status at the time the reports emerged. His absence, should the move go ahead, would remove him from the team's defensive line-up for a period of the season. The setback follows his solitary appearance against the 49ers, in which he was already restricted. No timetable for his return has been reported. Further updates on his recovery and playing status are expected as the situation develops.
