Last season, the Los Angeles Rams posted a 5-12 record and couldnāt defend their Super Bowl title in the NFL. Matthew Stafford only played nine games because of injuries and, at the end of the year, Sean McVay wasnāt sure if heāll continue as head coach of the team.
McVay has decided to stay and will be the leader of a massive rebuilding process for the franchise. The Rams still have an extraordinary core group of stars around Stafford like Aaron Donald and Cooper Kupp.

Rams are not happy with Matthew Stafford after controversial decision
It wonāt be be easy for the Rams in the NFC West where the San Francisco 49ers are big favorites. Furthermore, the Seahawks are a team on the rise with Geno Smith. Now, in a crushing event, Los Angeles might have lost one of their top players.
Cooper Kupp will be out with the Rams due to injury
Cooper Kupp left Tuesdayās practice with a hamstring injury and, though thereās no timetable, the star wide receiver could be out many weeks. However, the Rams are confident heāll be ready for the opener against the Seahawks on September 10.
The injury occurred while he was running a route at training camp as explained by head coach Sean McVay. āHe came up a little bit in a red zone route. Obviously, weāre much better when heās here, and we hope heās going to be OK. If heās not, weāll see what happens, but the practice had to go on.ā
The Rams just canāt afford to lose again their best offensive player on the roster. In 2022, Cooper Kupp missed the last eight games of the season because of a high ankle sprain and that derailed any hopes of a playoff run.
