A receiver visiting a specialist to check out a hamstring injury is never going to be good news.
Los Angeles Rams star wide receiver Cooper Kupp had a setback with a hamstring injury he suffered early in training camp. He reportedly visited a specialist in Minnesota to get it checked out. But still, he hasn't been ruled out for the Rams' Week 1 opener against the Seattle Seahawks.
Rams coach Sean McVay said Monday that Kupp was still in Minneapolis but he wouldn't rule out Kupp for the opener, via Gary Klein of the Los Angeles Times.
McVay did add that the team is focused on Kupp's "return to performance," via Klein. That's an indication Kupp could be out a while while he gets back to 100%, but McVay didn't make any determinations about his availability Monday. That doesn't help fantasy football drafters; Kupp was a consensus first-round pick before his setback.
The Rams might be in trouble without Kupp. Their roster was already thin after a rough offseason as they got their salary cap in order. One of the reasons for hope was Kupp, the Super Bowl MVP two seasons ago. Without him, the Rams' top pass catchers are Van Jefferson and tight end Tyler Higbee.
The Seahawks are waiting to find out if they'll have to face Kupp on Sunday. McVay didn't rule Kupp out for the season opener, but it sounds unlikely he'll be back right away.

Daniel Weinman won the World Series of Poker's main event world championship on Monday in Las Vegas, earning $12.1 million along the way. Playing in the tournament for a 16th year, Weinman was tops in a deep pool of 10,043 players vying for $93.39 million. His victory came after just 164 hands at the final table. "I was honestly on the fence about even coming back and playing this tournament," the 35-year-old Atlanta native told reporters afterward. Weinman's final table featured Jan-Peter Jachtmann, who landed in fourth place and took home $3 million, as well as Toby Lewis, who finished seventh and secured $1.42 million. According to the Las Vegas Review-Journal, the main event's entry pool far outpaced the previous record of 8,773 set in 2006. "I've always kind of felt that poker was kind of going in a dying direction, but to see the numbers at the World Series this year has been incredible," Weinman said. "And to win this main event, it doesn't feel real. I mean, [there's] so much luck in a poker tournament. I thought I played very well." Steven Jones finished second, securing $6.5 million. And Adam Walton settled for third and a $4 million prize.
