Rams WR Cooper Kupp (hamstring) to start season on IR

SEATTLE -- The Los Angeles Rams have placed wide receiver Cooper Kupp on injured reserve because of his lingering hamstring injury.

Kupp will miss at least four games while on injured reserve: trips to Seattle, Cincinnati and Indianapolis and home against the San Francisco 49ers.

Earlier in the week, Rams coach Sean McVay acknowledged that the IR stint was a possibility, as Los Angeles does not want to rush Kupp back from the hamstring injury he initially sustained during an Aug. 1 training camp practice and aggravated last week.
