Los Angeles Rams star Myles Garrett faces a six-week recovery timeline following knee surgery, potentially keeping him sidelined until November. The Rams placed Garrett on injured reserve after he played through discomfort in their season opener against the San Francisco 49ers in Australia. While eligible to return after four games, the six-week recovery suggests he could miss matchups against the Arizona Cardinals, Las Vegas Raiders, and Los Angeles Chargers.

Garrett, known for his resilience, is determined to beat the timeline, but the Rams remain cautious with a player they acquired via a major trade. The trade sent Jared Verse and multiple draft picks, including a 2027 first-round selection, to the Cleveland Browns. Garrett, a five-time All-Pro, set the NFL record with 23 sacks last season.

Coach Sean McVay has not committed to a specific return date, emphasizing caution despite Garrett's fast healing reputation.
