The initial notice came from an Associated Press source cited by The New York Times and CBS News, establishing that the procedure was imminent and that he would be placed on injured reserve. Subsequent AP‑linked outlets—including 13wham.com, Yahoo Sports, ESPN and NFL.com—added that the operation would be arthroscopic and that Garrett was projected to miss at least four games. The consensus framed the injury as a short‑term setback rather than a season‑ending blow.

Some sources qualified the timeline differently. This minor inconsistency in the expected return date persists, though all agree on a multi‑week sidelining. The Los Angeles Times described Garrett’s knee issue as a warning sign for a suddenly fragile Rams defense, suggesting the loss of a premier pass rusher could expose systemic gaps.

As of the latest update, the Rams have confirmed that Garrett will undergo the arthroscopic procedure and be placed on injured reserve, as noted by NFL Network. Roster adjustments remain pending, and the defensive line will operate without its All‑Pro edge until the player is cleared to return.
