Rams’ Kupp won’t play Week 1 due to hamstring injury

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Cooper Kupp won’t play Week 1 against the Seattle Seahawks due to a hamstring injury, head coach Sean McVay announced Wednesday, according to Jourdan Rodrigue of The Athletic.

Kupp recently said he was on track to play L.A.’s opener before suffering a setback that had him listed as day-to-day. The 2021 Offensive Player of the Year was in Minnesota this week to see a specialist for his latest injury.

“Not much more information … just dealing with some soft-tissue stuff,” McVay said Wednesday.

The Rams aren’t ruling out the possibility of placing Kupp on injured reserve.

“We want him to be out there, but we don’t want to rush it,” McVay added, according to
