Myles Garrett's knee injury a major warning sign for Rams defense
Los Angeles Times • • sports
Key Points:
- The Los Angeles Rams will wear their new "Fearsome White" uniforms on the night before Thanksgiving to honor their legendary Fearsome Foursome defensive line from the late 1960s and '70s.
- The Rams' defensive front struggled in their season opener, missing key player Myles Garrett due to knee surgery, which will sideline him for at least four games.
- Despite high expectations with stars like Byron Young, Kobie Turner, Braden Fiske, and Aaron Donald returning from retirement, the Rams failed to pressure the 49ers quarterback and allowed 174 rushing yards in a disappointing loss.
- Coach Sean McVay and defensive coordinator Chris Shula face challenges to improve both defense and offense after the team scored only one touchdown and allowed a long kickoff return in the opener.
- Aaron Donald is expected to return in the next game against the New York Giants, potentially boosting the Rams' defensive performance.
