When the Los Angeles Rams take the field on September 10th for their season opener, it is unlikely that All-Pro wide receiver Cooper Kupp will be in uniform. Kupp recently visited a renowned body specialist in Minnesota to gain a deeper understanding of his hamstring issue. This visit was prompted by two previous hamstring pulls during the summer, and the goal is to fully comprehend the underlying cause of the problem. Coach Sean McVay has described Kupp’s status as “day-to-day.”
Kupp has been dealing with hamstring problems throughout training camp and it seems that he is still far from being ready to play. Coach McVay emphasized the distinction between returning to play and returning to peak performance, expressing the team’s desire for Kupp to be fully recovered and able to perform at his best. They understand his importance as a player and as a person, and therefore want to be cautious in ensuring his complete recovery. Whether he will be ready for the September 10th game or not, the team will continue to monitor his progress and focus on what they can control.
Health issues have been a recurring challenge for Kupp, as he missed the final eight games of the 2022 season due to a high ankle sprain. However, in the previous season, Kupp had an exceptional performance, leading the league in receptions, receiving yards, and touchdown receptions. He even earned the title of Super Bowl MVP as the Rams triumphed over the Cincinnati Bengals. Kupp’s standout performance in the Super Bowl included eight receptions, 92 yards, and two touchdowns, with the game-winning catch made in the final minutes of the fourth quarter.
Whether Kupp is able to play or not, the Rams will face the Seattle Seahawks in a crucial NFC West matchup next Sunday.
