The Unforeseen Absence: LA Rams’ Cooper Kupp Sidelined by Injury
Cooper Kupp’s Injury Sidelines Him From Upcoming Bears Match
An Unexpected Setback for the LA Rams
Following an announcement from head coach Sean McVay, it was confirmed that Cooper Kupp, the Rams’ stellar wide receiver, would be absent from the forthcoming clash against the Chicago Bears. The cause: a sprained left ankle suffered by Kupp during the second week, which will keep him out of action for an indefinite period. However, the team refrained from listing Kupp on the injured reserve, not requiring his active roster spot at the moment.
Recovery Without a Fixed Timeline
Last week, McVay clarified that he had not set a specific date for Kupp’s return. His reasoning was that he didn’t want to impose any undue expectations or pressures on Kupp. Fortunately, the wide receiver did not require any surgical intervention following his injury.
McVay’s Confidence in Kupp’s Determination
“He’s going to do everything in his power to get back,” McVay stated, expressing his confidence in Kupp’s determination. “Whenever that is, we’ll be excited about that and happy for him.”
Kupp’s Performance in the Current Season
In the two matches he’s played this season, Kupp has made significant contributions with 18 receptions for 147 yards and a single touchdown.
Rams Still Going Strong Despite Injuries
Despite a few key players suffering injuries in the first two games, the Rams managed to secure a narrow victory of 27-24 against San Francisco. They were relatively unscathed, according to McVay. “A couple of little nicks and bruises, but nothing that’s going to keep anybody out,” he said. “And so that’s a very positive thing where we can now start to establish somewhat of a continuity with the same groups being able to work together two weeks in a row.”
