If the absence of Cooper Kupp for the first match of the season was already known, it is ultimately much longer that we will have to wait to see the offensive player of the year 2021 again. Journalist Adam Schefter confirmed that Kupp will be placed on the injured list, which will sideline him for at least the first four games.
Author of 812 yards in 9 matches last season, Cooper Kupp missed the entire second part of the season due to injury. Affected by a hamstring, he leaves the Rams orphaned by the main defensive threat, and replacing him will not be easy. Tutu Atwell and Van Jefferson will be the de facto leaders of the squad in the absence of the captain.
The Rams have not yet started the season and it already seems to resemble the chaos of the end of last season.
