Garrett Out, Rams Defense in Trouble | California News

0:00It's September 13th. This is California News today. AI-powered stories from your city. I'm Cory with the story. So, the big news out of the Rams camp is that Miles Garrett, the guy they traded a whole lot for to make their defense scary, is going to need knee. Surgery. This is a major blow because he's a two-time defensive player of the year, and he barely played in their first game. He was supposed to be the missing piece, the guy to anchor that pass rush. They gave up a lot to get him, including a first-round pick and another young player. Now, it looks like he might end up on injured reserve, which means he'd miss at least four games. This really changes the outlook for the Rams' defense. It was supposed to be a dominant force, but without Garrett, it might be a lot less intimidating. Fans were hyped to see him and Aaron Donald together, but Donald didn't even play in the opener. The team is saying he'll have surgery, and the injured reserve is a real possibility. This puts a lot of pressure on the other guys on the defensive line to step up.

1:01They've got some young talent, but nobody with Garrett's track record. The hope is that Aaron Donald might make his return soon, which could help soften the blow. But for now, the Rams are facing a significant challenge with their star defender's sideline.
