The Rams received bad news regarding the Cooper Kupp wide receiver. According to ESPN‘s Adam Schefter, the star suffered a “setback” in his hamstrings that may have left him sidelined for some time. Head coach Sean McVay said Kupp was “day to day” after the horrific news and injury.
According to NFL.com, the receiver suffered a muscle strain. Kupp suffered his first hamstring injury on August 1 and missed training. He returned to the field just a few days later, but of course it’s not a good sign that he’ll have to contend with another problem so close to the start of the season.
