After missing a significant portion of the 2022 season, Cooper Kupp has suffered yet another injury.
In the opening days of the Los Angeles Rams training camp, it was reported that Kupp was dealing with a hamstring issue.
At the time of reporting, Kupp’s timeline to return was unknown.
However, Adam Schefter has recently provided a quote from offensive coordinator Mike LaFleur, giving some insight into the situation.
“He’ll be back in the right time and stuff like that,” LaFleur said.
Rams’ OC Mike LaFleur on the status of WR Cooper Kupp, who hurt his hamstring this week: “He’s day-to-day. He'll be back in the right time and stuff like that. So he is just going through the rehab process, but he's day-to-day. He'll be alright.”

While LaFleur’s comments aren’t exactly what fans wanted to hear, it’s a step in the right direction.
He also added, “He is just going through the rehab process, but he’s day-to-day.”
Kupp has established himself as Matthew Stafford’s favorite target.
In their first season together, Kupp had career highs in receptions, yards, and receiving touchdowns.
He led the league in each category, and it looked like the pairing of him and Stafford was simply unstoppable.
Last season saw both players suffer from significant injuries, limiting the on-field impact they could make.
Kupp’s hamstring injury is yet another bump in the road for him, and he’ll need to work extra hard to find his way back on the field.
When healthy, can he and Stafford recapture the magic they found during that 2021 campaign?
The NFC West will prove a tough test again this season, as the San Francisco 49ers and Seattle Seahawks look to fight for playoff spots.
If their roster is healthy, how high is the ceiling for this Rams team?
