"We have until tomorrow to make that decision,
but I would say there is a definite possibility on all those
guys," McVay said of Kupp, backup quarterback Stetson Bennett
and tight end Hunter Long.
McVay had ruled Kupp out for Week 1 against the host Seattle
Seahawks back on Wednesday. Kupp has been seeing a specialist
about his lingering hamstring problem.
If Kupp or any of his injured teammates are placed on injured
reserve by Saturday, they will miss the first four games of the
regular season before being eligible to return.
Kupp, 30, was first injured in a training camp practice Aug. 1,
leaving the field 30 minutes into a workout. He was originally
expected to be out 1-2 weeks but he missed all three preseason
games.
Kupp won the receiving triple crown in 2021, leading the NFL
with 145 catches, 1,947 receiving yards and 16 touchdowns, and
won NFL Offensive Player of the Year. He was limited to nine
games in 2022 with a high ankle sprain.
Bennett (throwing shoulder) and Long (thigh) were also ruled out
for the Seattle game on Wednesday.
