NFL Monday Night Football preview: Rams, without Myles Garrett and perhaps Puka Nacua too, already in big spot vs. Giants

The Los Angeles Rams head into Monday Night Football in a precarious spot after early setbacks, including an ugly 27-7 loss to the San Francisco 49ers in Australia. Defensive end Myles Garrett underwent knee surgery, is on injured reserve, and has no return timetable. Receiver Puka Nacua also appeared on the injury report with a hip issue, and ESPN’s Adam Schefter said his status is trending the wrong direction for the Monday game versus the New York Giants. New York opened with a 28-20 win over Dallas, balancing ball control (36:40) with defensive disruption. Rams vs. Giants is being treated as a high-pressure Week 2 swing despite the Rams being favored by a touchdown.
