The Los Angeles Rams have placed wide receiver Cooper Kupp on injured reserve due to a hamstring injury. Kupp, who was the team’s leading receiver in 2018, was injured during the Rams’ Week 8 game against the Miami Dolphins.
Kupp had been dealing with the injury for several weeks, but it had not been serious enough to keep him out of the lineup. However, the injury worsened during the game against the Dolphins, and the Rams decided to place him on injured reserve.
The loss of Kupp is a huge blow to the Rams’ offense. He was the team’s leading receiver last season, and his presence on the field was a major factor in the Rams’ success. He had already caught 33 passes for 438 yards and two touchdowns this season.
The Rams will now have to rely on other receivers to step up in Kupp’s absence. Robert Woods and Brandin Cooks are expected to take on larger roles in the passing game, while Josh Reynolds could also see an increased workload.
The Rams are hoping that Kupp can return later this season, but there is no timetable for his return yet. Until then, the team will have to make do without one of their most important offensive weapons.
