Kupp Update? Torn ACL - out for the season

[TexasRam]

The Separation Kupp can get won't be replaced. But the ability to redefine your offense and break up the predictability may be good.

They need to explore the fades to Reynolds and get Pharoah into some underneath routes. Both guys have shown excellent potential.

I cant believe he didn't tear something in his original injury. Unfortunately it appears the damage was done and the knee was weakened enough that it was likely to result in a reoccurrence. We need to get creative in utilizing Reynolds, Everett and Higbee. I am especially optimistic on Everett with Reynolds/Higbee being red zone targets.

no supa bowl w/o Kupp.
Would have preferred a loss and his health to losing him for a the season.
Will cheer on Nick Williams! and Josh

This is just bad all around, especially for Kupp who is a great young player, a clutch player and a rocket scientist among dummies in his understanding of the game. Not optimistic he’ll be back this year, not very hard to tell a torn acl because the joint is unstable.

 

[OnceARam]

Doesn't sound good gang.. my only gripe, why was he allowed to walk off under his own power? Why not bring a cart out to avoid making it worse?

Once its torn, its torn.

Don't you risk dislocation trying to walk with a torn ACL?

 

[LumberTubs]

This is bad. Kupp is a genuine threat that scares defenses.

It's up to Reynolds to step up now and establish himself as a player that defenses have to think about.

You risk tearing other knee ligaments.

Walking off the field with a torn ACL isn't a big deal. It's lateral movement that's the problem. Guys have played on torn ACLs before. Guys walk off the field all the time with torn ACLs.

I want to know wtf the medical world hasnt invented this for ligaments and etc yet?

Kupp was the glue that made our WR's corps function so well. It's a sickening loss and I will have my fingers crossed that his subsequent rehabilitation goes well for him.

Bottle up that frustration and come back with a vengeance next year Coop!

 

[jrry32]

I'll be waiting for the Kuppdate tomorrow (well, later today) that confirms our biggest fears.

 

[UKram]

its annoying to as he did it cutting while the DB had his hands all over him ..no hands no injury IMO

A sprain is actually a tear. So, he did have a tear originally.

Strange thought considering that if we lost yesterday we'd be on our way to a potential three game losing streak and you'd probably say we aren't a Superbowl team then lol

 

[LesBaker]

It looks like Gerald Everett and Josh Reynolds will have to step up. Everett has been looking better and better the last few weeks. Here's hoping he can turn into a major weapon with Kupp's absence.

And the bullcrap of it all is that he was injured because of Seattle's CB committing a penalty:


That's illegal contact, at minimum.

The contact had nothing to do with the injury you can see his need starting to buckle as he cuts these type of knee injuries are almost always non-contact

Didn't Rivers complete a championship game after tearing an ACL in the 1st quarter?

Love me some Cooper Kupp, however, if the Eagles can win a Super Bowl without Carson Wentz the Los Angeles Rams can win one without Cooper Kupp. More, Reynolds, Everett & Higbee and a splash of Nick Williams.

 

[fearsomefour]

Kupp is a loss but right now the O losing a WR isn't what would hold the team back.
A defense playing undiscipled, bad tackling D....now impacted by repeated acts of stupidity....is what would hold the team back.
Get through the KC game then regroup and close the season out with 5 wins and get the D readjusted. Giving up 35 points a game is a first round playoff exit no matter how good your O is.

I saw that as well. I knew it was bad when his knee buckled on its own.
