Los Angeles Rams coach Sean McVay sustained a serious foot injury during Sunday’s win over the Tennessee Titans.
During Monday night’s appearance on his “Coach McVay Show,” he revealed that an MRI had confirmed a torn plantar fascia.
“Foot’s good,” McVay said. “I did tear my plantar fascia, so yeah. Well, that’s a good thing, because I guess it allows you to heal a little faster. But I was being dramatic, limping around towards the end of the game, but the MRI confirmed I did that. Good news is I’m not playing. I’m just on the sidelines watching, so if I have a little cool limp to add some swag, then you’ll know why.”
McVay, 39, did not say exactly when the injury occurred during the 33-19 victory.
Although he won’t miss any time, McVay may need to wear a walking boot during his recovery and will have to dial back his intensity. The former college football wide receiver is known for sprinting down the sidelines to call timeouts or to celebrate touchdowns with his players.
The Rams (2-0) visit the Philadelphia Eagles (2-0) on Sunday afternoon.
