Rams’ Cooper Kupp Offers ‘Good’ Injury Update
The Los Angeles Rams got good news on Tuesday in the form of star wide receiver Cooper Kupp giving an update on his rehab from the ankle injury that sidelined him last season after playing nine games.
Speaking with the media, Kupp revealed that he feels "really good" as he continues through rehab.
“I mean, you don’t know until you’re out here doing football stuff and really putting the ankle through the stuff that you know is required to play football,” Kupp said. “You can’t simulate this stuff. So I don’t know if we’ll really know. I feel right now, as we’ve been pushing it pretty hard, I feel really good."
Kupp missed most of the Rams' OTAs as he was with his family as they welcomed their third child to the world. While the Rams would obviously love to have their top wide-out on the field at this point in the offseason, it has allowed for others to get more reps and build chemistry with quarterback Matthew Stafford.
Rams head coach Sean McVay made that a big point of emphasis when announcing the reasoning for Kupp's absence at the start of OTAs. ... And after a season like last where the Rams were negated by injuries, building depth at receiver can only mean good things if the injury bug were to strike again.
Getting and staying healthy will be the priority for the Rams this coming season as they hope to bounce back from the Super Bowl hangover season, which saw them fall to a 5-12.
