They will now look to bounce back when they face the New York Giants at SoFi Stadium on Monday Night Football. The Los Angeles Rams suffered a crushing defeat to the San Francisco 49ers in their season opener in Melbourne, Australia.
The 30-year-old underwent surgery on his knee after the Rams’ season opener and was subsequently moved to injured reserve. The Rams are also scheduled to face the Broncos, Eagles and Bills during that stretch, with Week 6 against the Cardinals representing the earliest point at which Garrett could potentially return. Because garrett was one of the Rams’ biggest moves during the offseason, the timing of the injury is especially notable.
However, Sean McVay’s led side will be without one of its most significant offseason additions when it takes the field against the Giants. The transaction means he will miss at least four games, although the team has not established a firm timetable for his return. Head coach Sean McVay has since maintained that the team will not rush the veteran pass rusher back and wants to evaluate his recovery before setting a definitive return date. Los Angeles acquired the star pass rusher from the Cleveland Browns with the expectation that he would become a central part of its defensive front and provide a major boost to the team’s pass rush.
