00:00Cup half-full? At least that means that there is some optimism and positive

00:08injury report. Cooper Cup is going to miss a few weeks for the Rams with a

00:12diagnosed high ankle sprain that he suffered on Sunday against Arizona.

00:16However, there is a hope in Los Angeles. He returns within a month, so no need for

00:22injured reserve. You just have two other starters, Jonah Jackson and Josh Johnson

00:27III being placed on IR. Pukunukua already on IR, and we have not seen a

00:33fully healthy Rams offensive line start a game through the first two weeks this

00:36year, so good for Cooper Cup, not great for the Rams in total. No, it's not, and

00:43this lets you know exactly what the Rams are thinking about their season. Now, if

00:46there was a chance, let's just say the Rams were 2-0 and Cooper Cup got hurt, you

00:50would IR him and say, okay, we'll be able to, you know, steady the waters here, we'll

00:54be able to make it through, we'll be 500 when you get back here, you'll be fully

00:57healthy, we'll make a run towards the playoffs. They're telling you now, well,

01:01if we IR you, you're out for a minimum amount of weeks here, and we might not

01:04even have a win by the time you get back. If we can save one week or two weeks

01:09here with your ankle injury and burn a spot here on our roster just waiting for

01:13you, it might be worth it, because otherwise, we don't think we're even

01:16going to be competitive and or be in playoff chances by week 9 or week 10 at

01:21this point. So, I understand what the Rams are doing, but this ship is sinking

01:25and taking water fast right now, and Cooper Cup coming back in four weeks,

01:28five weeks, or six weeks, I really don't think it makes a difference.
