After having devoted time during training camp to attempting to manage Myles Garrett's knee injury, it was the Los Angeles Rams' disastrous defeat in the season opener against the San Francisco 49ers that made it evident to all that the star defensive end required surgery.

Tras haber dedicado tiempo durante el campo de entrenamiento a intentar gestionar la lesión de rodilla de Myles Garrett, fue la desastrosa derrota de los Los Angeles Rams en el partido inaugural de temporada contra los San Francisco 49ers lo que evidenció ante todos que el estelar ala defensiva precisaba cirugía.

Garrett did not record a single tackle or sack while playing 61.5% of the defensive snaps in the Rams' 27-7 defeat in Melbourne, Australia.

Garrett no registró tacleada alguna ni captura mientras disputó el 61.5% de las jugadas defensivas en la derrota de los Rams por 27-7 en Melbourne, Australia.

Head coach Sean McVay stated on Monday that the conversations held with Garrett immediately after last Thursday's game made it patently clear that he could not continue without undergoing surgery.

El entrenador Sean McVay declaró el lunes que las conversaciones mantenidas con Garrett inmediatamente después del partido del jueves pasado dejaron patente que no podía continuar sin someterse a una operación.

The Rams could soon receive some help on the defensive line, although it remains unclear when Aaron Donald will be ready to play.

Los Rams podrían recibir pronto algo de ayuda en la línea defensiva, si bien aún no está claro cuándo Aaron Donald estará listo para jugar.

"We had been aware of this and were surmising that (Garrett's knee) was something he might be able to overcome," said McVay.

«Habíamos estado al tanto de esto y conjeturábamos que (la rodilla de Garrett) era algo que él podría superar», dijo McVay.

"Obviously, being out there and playing in a real game, you learn things like, 'Hey, maybe that isn't the case.

«Obviamente, estando allí y jugando en un partido real, aprendes como, 'Oye, tal vez ese no sea el caso.

So let's change course with that.'"

Así que cambiemos el rumbo con eso'».

McVay did not have an updated timeline for Garrett's recovery that went beyond the minimum of four games inherent to his placement on injured reserve, as it remained contingent upon the results of the procedure.

McVay no disponía de un cronograma actualizado para la recuperación de Garrett que trascendiera el mínimo de cuatro partidos inherente a su inclusión en la reserva de lesionados, quedando supeditado a los resultados del procedimiento.

Garrett missed a substantial portion of training camp owing to what had been described as knee swelling, although McVay has not elaborated on the precise nature of the injury.

Garrett se perdió gran parte del campo de entrenamiento debido a lo que se había descrito como hinchazón en la rodilla, si bien McVay no ha dado más detalles sobre la naturaleza exacta de la lesión.

In June, the Rams acquired the reigning AP Defensive Player of the Year from the Cleveland Browns in a blockbuster trade for quarterback Jared Verse and three draft picks, fully aware that Garrett's workload had been managed with the utmost caution over recent seasons.

Los Rams adquirieron al reinante Jugador Defensivo del Año de AP de los Cleveland Browns en un traspaso bomba por el pasador Jared Verse y tres selecciones del draft en junio, conscientes de que la carga de trabajo de Garrett había sido gestionada con suma cautela en las últimas temporadas.

That was acceptable to McVay, who has frequently curtailed practice time for veteran players in order to maximize their performance on game day.

Eso fue aceptable para McVay, quien con frecuencia ha limitado el tiempo de práctica para jugadores veteranos a fin de maximizar su rendimiento en el día del partido.

"The reality is that our job is to position our players and our team in such a way that they can achieve successful outcomes.

«La realidad es que nuestra labor estriba en posicionar a nuestros jugadores y a nuestro equipo de modo que puedan alcanzar resultados exitosos.

We believed we would adopt an approach whereby he would feel well enough to contribute to positive change and be the player he is capable of being.

Considerábamos que adoptaríamos un enfoque mediante el cual él se sintiera lo suficientemente bien como para contribuir a un cambio positivo y ser el jugador que es capaz de ser.

That was not the case, so the next right thing for us is to be able to rectify this," McVay said.

No fue ese el caso, de manera que lo siguiente correcto para nosotros es poder subsanar esto», dijo McVay.

Garrett had given no indication whatsoever of being physically compromised in the lead-up to the match, having described himself as "ready" last Tuesday.

Garrett no había dado indicio alguno de hallarse físicamente comprometido con antelación al partido, habiéndose calificado a sí mismo como "listo" el pasado martes.

"I believe I can go out there and do what I know I'm capable of doing," he declared.

"Creo que puedo salir allí y hacer lo que sé que puedo hacer", declaró.

In the course of that press conference, Garrett embraced the lofty expectations entailed by his joining the Rams, declaring that his goals for the current season were none other than to win the Super Bowl and to retain his status as the AP Defensive Player of the Year.

En el transcurso de dicha rueda de prensa, Garrett asumió las elevadas expectativas que entrañaba su incorporación a los Rams, declarando que sus objetivos para la presente temporada no eran otros que alzarse con el Super Bowl y revalidar su condición de Jugador Defensivo del Año de AP.

It was Garrett's arrival that precipitated the perception of the Rams as a superteam, in part because his presence helped persuade Donald to come out of retirement last month.

Fue la incorporación de Garrett la que precipitó la concepción de los Rams como un súper equipo, en parte porque su presencia contribuyó a persuadir a Donald de abandonar el retiro el mes pasado.

McVay stated that Garrett's absence would have no bearing whatsoever on when the distinguished defensive tackle would return to the field.

McVay manifestó que la ausencia de Garrett no ejercería incidencia alguna sobre el momento en que el eminente tackle defensivo se reincorporara al terreno de juego.

Donald, a three-time recipient of the AP Defensive Player of the Year award, did not make the trip with the team to Australia, as he strives to regain full fitness following two seasons away from football.

Donald, galardonado en tres ocasiones con el premio al Jugador Defensivo del Año de AP, no emprendió viaje alguno junto al equipo con destino a Australia, en tanto se afana por recuperar su plena forma física tras dos temporadas de ausencia en el fútbol americano.

McVay stated that it was premature to determine whether Donald would take part in the season opener that the Rams will play at home against the New York Giants next Monday.

McVay manifestó que resultaba prematuro determinar si Donald tomaría parte en el partido inaugural que los Rams disputarán como locales frente a los New York Giants el próximo lunes.

"He will persist in his process, and we will watch how it materializes," said McVay.

"Él perseverará en su proceso, y contemplaremos cómo se materializa ello", dijo McVay.
