The Facts: HC Sean McVay told reporters at the NFL Scouting Combine that Kupp is making good progress and on pace to be ready to go for training camp.
Diehards Line:
Kupp played in eight games this season, scored six touchdowns, and was a vital piece in the offensive puzzle — a safety valve for quarterback Jared Goff, a stout blocker and a down-the-field threat. He suffered a strained left knee when he was dragged down from behind with a horse-collar tackle at Denver on Oct. 14, and wound up missing the next two games. Returning to the field against New Orleans, he turned a short reception into a 41-yard touchdown. The next week he suffered a torn ACL in his left knee on a non-contact injury against Seattle. That ended his season. ... We’ll be watching his progress closely in coming weeks.
