The Pooleers, who signed wide receiver Cooper Kupp from the Los Angeles Rams, have reason to be nervous.
On Monday, head coach Sean McVay announced that the star player is currently in Minnesota to see a specialist for his hamstring injury.

Kupp was injured on August 1st. Last week, the Rams said there were complications in his rehabilitation. Many doubt his presence next Sunday in the first game of the season. The Californian club meets the Seahawks in Seattle.
“We have to continue to move forward and manage this situation with the players we have available,” McVay said. If he can play that would be great for us. If he can’t do that, we have to deal with the situation.
Kupp is limited to nine games in 2022 and has caught 75 balls for 812 yards and six touchdowns. The 30-year-old had an incredible season last year. He led the NFL in catches (175), yards (1,947) and touchdowns (16).
