Coach Sean McVay confirmed Monday that Garrett will undergo a knee scope and be placed on injured reserve, Sarah Barshop of ESPN.com reports.
"Thought we would take an approach where he'd be feeling good enough to go contribute positive change and be the player that he's capable of," McVay said. "That wasn't the case. And so the next right thing for us is to be able to get this thing fixed." Garrett will miss at least the next four games, but McVay wouldn't comment on a definitive timeline for the star edge rusher to return to the field. Garrett generated zero pressures and no stats in the box score across 40 defensive snaps against San Francisco last week.

Rams' Myles Garrett: Needs knee scope, headed for IR
Rotowire
Garrett is scheduled to undergo arthroscopic surgery on his left knee in the coming days and is expected to be placed on injured reserve, Tom Pelissero of Netflix reports.
Garrett dealt with swelling in the knee for much of training camp and was held out of the Rams' first official practice of Week 1, but he eventually received the green light to play in Thursday's season opener versus the 49ers in Melbourne, Australia. However, the star edge rusher was unusually quiet in the Rams' 27-7 loss, recording no tackles or quarterback pressures over his 40 snaps. The lingering knee issue was likely a factor in his lack of productivity, and he'll now get sent in for a procedure to address the injury. The Rams are optimistic that Garrett will be ready to play when first eligible Week 6 against the Cardinals after spending the requisite four games on IR.

Rams' Myles Garrett: Admits he's not 100 percent
Rotowire
Garrett said after Thursday night's loss to the 49ers that his knee is not 100 percent healthy, Greg Beacham of the Associated Press reports.
Garrett posted no stats in the box score in his Rams debut Thursday, and it was the first time since the 2018 season that he didn't even record a single quarterback pressure in a game. "This was the worst version of myself that I've put out there, and I've got to be better," Garrett said. The star edge rusher missed most of training camp and the entire preseason tending to a knee injury. He'll have 10 days to get ready for Week 2 against the Giants.

Rams' Myles Garrett: Officially DNP on Tuesday
Rotowire
Garrett (knee) did not practice Tuesday, Sarah Barshop of ESPN.com reports.
Garrett hasn't practiced much this summer, but coach Sean McVay has expressed no concern about the star edge rusher's availability for Thursday's opener against the 49ers. Garrett isn't someone who needs to practice much in order to play on game days, even as he adapts to a new defensive scheme following a June trade from Cleveland.

Rams' Myles Garrett: DNP on Sunday
Rotowire
Garrett (knee) did not participate in Sunday's practice, Gary Klein of the Los Angeles Times reports.
Garrett was not dressed for practice Sunday and was working off to the side with trainers. The Defensive Player of the Year's chances at a repeat award jumped this weekend as the Rams announced that Aaron Donald was returning to the team on a one-year $20 million deal. It is unclear when Garrett will return to practice, but if the team waits much longer to get him back in pads, there is a chance he will miss the Week 1 divisional matchup with the 49ers on Thursday, Sept. 10.

Rams' Myles Garrett: Doesn't practice Monday
Rotowire
Garrett (knee) did not participate in Monday's training camp practice, Stu Jackson of the Rams' official site reports.
Garrett has been held out of practice for the last couple of weeks while recovering from swelling in his knee. He's unlikely to play in Thursday's preseason finale against the Chargers, but he still has time to progress enough in his recovery to be cleared to play Week 1 against the 49ers on Thursday, Sept. 10.

Rams' Myles Garrett: Dealing with swelling in knee
Rotowire
Coach Sean McVay said after Tuesday's joint practice with the Cowboys that Garrett didn't take part due to swelling in his knee, Lindsey Thiry of ESPN.com reports.
Garrett missed some time early in training camp due to what McVay called "soreness in his lower half," per Sarah Barshop of ESPN.com, and the location of the injury is now known. McVay added Tuesday that Garrett is "85 percent." Garrett still has a month to get back to full health before the Rams' Week 1 matchup with the 49ers in Melbourne, Australia.

Garrett (lower body) participated in the Rams' training camp Wednesday, Gary Klein of the Los Angeles Times reports.
Garrett made his return to the field after having been sidelined for the last several practice sessions due to a lower-body injury. The 2017 first-round pick was traded to Los Angeles from Cleveland earlier in the offseason and will look to bolster the Rams' pass rush during the upcoming campaign.

Rams' Myles Garrett: Restructures contract
Rotowire
Garrett is restructuring his contract with the Rams, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
It sounds like there won't be much difference from Garrett's perspective, as most of the changes are intended to help the Rams with cap flexibility. He's entering the second season of a five-year, $204 million extension, coming off a 2025 campaign in which he somehow broke the single-season record for sacks (23.0) while playing for a five-win team. Garrett's new team came a few plays shy of the Super Bowl last season and now boasts arguably the strongest roster in the league.

Rams' Myles Garrett: Being dealt to Rams
Rotowire
The Browns agreed to trade Garrett to the Rams on Monday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Garrett will bolster a win-now Rams team, while the rebuilding Browns get back Jared Verse, a 2027 first-round pick, a 2028 second-round pick and a 2029 third-round pick. The reigning NFL Defensive Player of the Year set the league record with 23.0 sacks in the 2025 regular season, and he should have even more opportunities to rush the passer on a Rams team that's expected to play with the lead much more often than the Browns have in recent years.

Browns' Myles Garrett: Trade to Rams being finalized
Rotowire
The Browns are finalizing a trade Monday that will send Garrett to the Rams, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Garrett, who tallied a career-high 23.0 sacks across 17 regular-season appearances in 2025, reportedly will be dealt to Los Angeles with Cleveland receiving edge rusher Jared Verse, a 2027 first-round pick and other draft compensation in return. The transaction is a substantial all-in maneuver by the Rams, as the team works to maximize the competitive window of veteran quarterback Matthew Stafford, who inked a one-year extension in mid-May. Garrett remains one of the most impactful defensive players in the league and will arguably see his IDP fantasy prospects rise even further once the trade is finalized.

Browns' Myles Garrett: Agrees to modify contract
Rotowire
Garrett and the Browns reached agreement Tuesday on a modified contract, ESPN.com's Field Yates reports.
Mary Kay Cabot of the Cleveland Plain Dealer reports that the Browns have no plans to trade Garrett, even though these contract modifications make it easier to do so from a cap standpoint. It won't come as a huge surprise if the rebuilding franchise eventually trades its 30-year-old superstar, but the Browns did respond with a massive four-year extension when Garrett requested a trade in February 2025. Garrett then broke the single-season record for sacks (23) while playing for a team that went 5-12 and faced just 487 opponent pass attempts (third-fewest). Garrett's renegotiated contract crucially pushes the date for option bonuses in 2026-28 from late March to late August, reducing the current-year dead-cap charge associated with a potential trade.

Browns' Myles Garrett: Sets all-time sack record
Rotowire
Garrett recorded 1.0 sack on his only tackle and added a second QB hit in Sunday's 20-18 win over the Bengals.
His fourth-quarter takedown of Joe Burrow put Garrett in the history books, as it gave him 23.0 sacks on the season -- breaking the NFL record of 22.5 previously held by Michael Strahan and T.J. Watt. Garrett's stellar campaign was one of the few bright spots for the Browns in 2025, and he's delivered at least 14.0 sacks in five straight seasons. With a contract that runs through 2030, the 30-year-old edge rusher should return as the centerpiece of the Cleveland defense next year.

Browns' Myles Garrett: Officially cleared for Week 18
Rotowire
Garrett (hip) doesn't carry a designation into Sunday's game against the Bengals, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.
Garrett ended Week 18 prep with back-to-back limited practices, which was enough for him to fade an injury tag for Sunday's regular-season finale. The veteran pass rusher sits at 22.0 sacks through 16 regular-season games and is one sack shy from surpassing Michael Strahan and T.J. Watt for the NFL's single-season record.

Browns' Myles Garrett: Working through hip issue
Rotowire
Garrett (hip) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.
The hip injury appears to be a new issue for the veteran pass rusher, given that he wasn't listed on Wednesday's injury report. Garrett's practice participation Friday will shed light on his chances of playing Sunday against the Bengals, when he'll look to log one more sack to break the NFL's single-season record.

Browns' Myles Garrett: Moves closer to sack record
Rotowire
Garrett record 0.5 sacks in Sunday's 23-20 loss to the Bills in Week 16.
The half-sack was the only tackle on which Garret was involved, but it moved him one step closer to the season record for sacks. He's up to 22.0 and needs another 1.0 sacks over the final two games to establish a new NFL season high. That pursuit will be one of the few on-field areas of interest as the Browns finish out a second consecutive double-digit loss season.

Browns' Myles Garrett: Monster season continues
Rotowire
Garrett recorded five total tackles (all solo), including 4.0 sacks, in Sunday's 23-16 loss to the Ravens.
After going without a sack from Week 4 through Week 6, Garrett has erupted for 11.0 sacks over the Browns' last four games. The 29-year-old surpassed Brian Burns and now leads the NFL with 15.0 sacks through 10 appearances this season, needing just 1.5 more in Cleveland's final seven games to set a new personal best. Expect Garrett to continue wreaking havoc on opposing quarterbacks in the Week 12 matchup against the Raiders.
