Miles Garrett of the Rams to Miss Time Due to Knee Surgery

Miles Garrett, a recently traded player to the Rams, is set to miss at least a month of the season due to arthroscopic surgery on his knee. The nature of Garrett's injury seems to have escalated from what was initially described as precautionary stiffness to a more serious condition requiring surgery. This series of events underscores the uncertainty that can arise from preseason assessments and how quickly they can lead to significant mid-season adjustments for teams.

The details surrounding the type of procedure Garrett is undergoing are crucial. There are two possible scenarios: a trim or a repair. A trim generally allows for a quicker return, possibly within four to six weeks. However, if the surgery involves a more extensive repair, Garrett could face a much longer recovery period. The Rams, having invested significantly in Garrett through a trade, are now in a position where they must manage the early part of their season without one of their key players.
