Garrett Out, Rams Rebound? | Los Angeles Rams News

0:00On September 18th, Miles Garrett, the big offseason pickup for the Los Angeles Rams, is officially on injured reserve. He had surgery on his knee after playing in their first game against the San Francisco 49ers and is now sidelined for at least four games. This means he'll miss matchups against the New York Giants, Denver Broncos, Philadelphia Eagles, and Buffalo Bills. The earliest he could possibly return is week six against the Arizona Cardinals, but the team isn't setting that as a hard target. The Rams made a huge trade to get Garrett, sending over Jared Verse, a first round pick in 2027, a second rounder in 20. 28 and a third rounder in 2029. He was coming off a record-breaking season with 23 sacks, and the team expected him to be a game-changer on defense. However, he's been dealing with knee swelling since training camp and didn't quite look like himself in that opening game, even admitting it was the worst he played. Now, the Rams have to figure out how to manage without their star-pass rusher for the next month.

1:03This puts more pressure on guys like Byron Young, who had a strong season last year with 12 sacks. Other players like Josiah Stewart, Desi Juan Johnson, and Wesley Bailey will also need to step up their game on the edge. On a more positive note, Aaron Donald practiced fully and is looking like he might make his season debut against the Giants. His return would certainly be a boost, and might take some of the focus off Garrett's absence for a bit. Ultimately, the Rams know Garrett can come back after four games, but the real question is when they'll see the healthy, dominant player they traded. So much for. It's a big test for their investment early in the season. I'm Corey with the story, and this is Los Angeles Rams News.
