The dream team has had an unexpected detour.
After losing to the 49ers badly in Melbourne, and given Myles GarrettâÂÂs candid remarks about the impact of his health on his performance, Garrett will have knee surgery and be placed on injured reserve, per multiple reports.
ItâÂÂs a stunning development for a Rams team that became the odds-on favorites to win the Super Bowl after GarrettâÂÂs arrival in June. His presence lured Aaron Donald out of retirement. Now, Donald will be playing for at least four games (if Donald plays in Week 2) without Garrett.
And it wonâÂÂt be an easy road. The Rams host the Giants next Monday night. The following Sunday night, they face the Broncos in Denver. Then, the Rams head to Philly for a date with the Eagles. After that, the Rams return home for a Monday night showdown with Josh Allen and the Bills.
