Avast ye maties! Tis be told that the fearsome Los Angeles Rams' wide receiver Cooper Kupp hath set sail to the land of Minnesota, seeking counsel from a specialist to decipher the scallywag responsible for his cursed hamstring troubles. Yarr, head coach Sean McVay be the bearer of such tidings!
Los Angeles Rams star receiver Cooper Kupp has sought the help of a specialist in Minnesota to diagnose the severity of his hamstring injury. Head coach Sean McVay revealed this news after Kupp experienced a setback in his recovery last week. Currently, Kupp's availability for the Rams' Week 1 game against the Seattle Seahawks is uncertain. This is not the news McVay wants to hear, especially after Kupp missed most of the 2022 season due to an ankle injury.Despite the setback, McVay acknowledges that he must work with the players he has available. He hopes Kupp can return to the field at full health, as he is a vital part of the Rams' offensive strategy. McVay wants Kupp to perform like he did two seasons ago when he was named Offensive Player of the Year. The coach emphasizes that Kupp should not rush his return and should only come back when he feels 100% ready.
Kupp initially injured his hamstring during a training camp practice on August 1 and has been sidelined ever since. This has forced quarterback Matthew Stafford to develop chemistry with other receivers such as Van Jefferson and Tutu Atwell. These players, along with tight end Tyler Higbee and running back Cam Akers, may be Stafford's passing options in the upcoming game.
Kupp had a promising start to the previous season before his ankle injury, recording 812 yards, 75 receptions, and six touchdowns in just nine games. In the Rams' 2021 Super Bowl-winning campaign, he led the league in receptions (145), receiving yards (1,947), and receiving touchdowns (16).
Overall, the Rams are hoping for a quick recovery for Kupp and are prepared to adjust their game plan accordingly.
