Though the Los Angeles Rams got the win on Sunday, they also lost Cooper Kupp to an ankle injury. Kupp went down in the first half while blocking for Royce Freeman on the edge and was unable to return to the game.
He was on the sideline and looked like he’d try to get back in, but the Rams eventually ruled him out at the start of the fourth quarter.
After the game, Sean McVay provided a little bit of an update on his wide receiver. He told reporters that he doesn’t know how severe the injury is but Kupp was going to try to get back into the game. It just wasn’t 100% so he remained out for the rest of the contest.
“Don’t have an update – it’s an ankle injury – as far as the severity of it,” McVay said. “He was going to try to come back and play. He was moving around at the beginning of the second half and we were hoping that he’d be able to go but it just didn’t quite feel good enough. I thought Austin Trammell did a great job being able to step up in his absence and make some key and critical plays.”
Kupp caught just one pass for 11 yards before going down, his fourth straight game with fewer than 50 yards receiving. It was an ankle injury that forced Kupp to miss the final eight games of last season but hopefully this injury isn’t as serious as that one was.
