Knee Surgery Recovery Timeline
Rams Defensive End Myles Garrett Faces Six-Week Recovery Following Knee Surgery
Anonymous
Rams star defensive end Myles Garrett is facing about six weeks of recovery after arthroscopic knee surgery, potentially keeping him out through Los Angeles’ Week 8 game and until its Week 9 matchup with Washington on Nov. 8. Although he becomes eligible to return from injured reserve in Week 6, Garrett is eager to beat the timeline, while coach Sean McVay has stressed the team will not rush him back. Garrett was injured after a limited training camp and a subdued, visibly limping performance in the season-opening loss to San Francisco. His absence is a significant setback for the Rams, who made a major trade to acquire the reigning Defensive Player of the Year as part of a push for a championship.
Key Points
1
After his Week 1 performance, Garrett said, “I was a little bit more focused on myself and trying to stay healthy than what they were doing, and that showed. I wasn’t who I needed to be for my team.” He did not record a tackle in the loss.
2
The Rams’ reported price for Garrett included pass rusher Jared Verse, a 2027 first-round pick, a 2028 second-round pick and a conditional third-round pick that could be upgraded to a first-rounder.
3
Aaron Donald came out of retirement to join Garrett on the Rams’ defensive line, but the two had not yet played together; the injury could delay their first game as teammates until the Week 9 matchup with Washington.
