The Los Angeles Rams placed Cooper Kupp on injured reserve this week after he suffered an ankle injury that required him to undergo surgery. With Kupp being such a focal point of the offense, Sean McVay revealed the challenges of not having the All-Pro wideout available.
“It’s going to give a lot of guys an opportunity to be able to step up. Anytime that you lose a player like that, you never replace him,” McVay said Wednesday. “But what it does provide is an opportunity for us to learn about a lot of other guys from that receiver room and really our offense in general. So you have to look at it through that lens. But Cooper, we all know what a special player (and) person he is and that’s a big loss without a doubt but it will provide opportunities for a lot of other guys to be able to get chances that they wouldn’t get otherwise.”
