Sean McVay believed Myles Garrett could work through his knee injury before the Rams' season opener, but the Week 1 game made it clear that wasn't possible. Following the loss, per ESPN, McVay said Garrett would need surgery.

McVay did not provide a timeline for Garrett's return pending the surgery, ESPN reported. The initial assessment that Garrett might be able to play through the injury proved overly optimistic once the team got on the field in its opener.
