Los Angeles Rams Dealt a Huge Blow as Cooper Kupp Placed on Injury Reserve
The Los Angeles Rams took an extremely radical approach toward winning the Super Bowl title last year. General Manager Les Snead sacrificed a number of draft picks to secure the services of big names in order to fast-track their way to win the Super Bowl. While they did achieve that, their top-heavy approach might come back to haunt them now that Cooper Kupp will not be available for a while.

The Los Angeles Rams head coach continued, “How does that surgery go? But I don’t think you want to pigeonhole yourself into one approach, but you do know that the first step is the surgery and then the appropriate steps will be followed after that.”
