The Los Angeles Rams wide receiver, Cooper Kupp, has encountered a setback in his recovery from a hamstring injury and his status is currently day-to-day, according to coach Sean McVay’s announcement on Thursday.
McVay stated, “We are taking it one day at a time at the moment. Our priority is to ensure his full recovery. We recognize the significant impact he brings to our team when he’s on the field.”
Kupp sustained the injury on August 1st, and only returned to practice with the Rams last week, expressing confidence in his availability for their regular-season opener against the Seattle Seahawks on September 10th.
When questioned about Kupp’s availability for the opener, McVay remained uncertain during Thursday’s press conference.
“There is a distinction between returning to play and returning to top performance,” McVay clarified. “Our goal is to ensure Cooper Kupp’s complete recovery. We are aware of his exceptional talent and character, and we want to take the necessary precautions to bring him back at his best potential. Whether that happens on September 10th or not, we will closely assess the situation and focus on what we can control.”
Kupp, the Most Valuable Player of Super Bowl LVI, missed the final eight games of the 2022 season due to a high ankle sprain. Despite the setback, he finished the season with impressive statistics, accumulating 75 catches for 812 yards and six touchdowns.
In the previous year, Kupp achieved the NFL’s triple crown of receiving by leading the league in catches (145), receiving yards (1,947), and touchdowns (16).
