Los Angeles Rams starting cornerback Jaylen Watson will miss the remainder of the 2024 season after undergoing surgery on an injured shoulder, head coach Sean McVay confirmed Wednesday. Watson had been a starter in the Rams secondary. The same AP dispatch also noted that pass rusher Myles Garrett returned to practice the same day. No surgery date, injury origin, or timetable for recovery was included in either published report. Two outlets have this story, both from the same wire source, with nothing added.
