The Los Angeles Rams’ players weren’t the only ones who battled injuries over the weekend.
Rams head coach Sean McVay said on the “Coach McVay Show” on Monday night that he tore the plantar fascia in his foot while coaching his team to a 33-19 win over the Tennessee Titans in Week 2 on Sunday. McVay said that his foot was “good,” but did not he had torn the plantar fascia.
“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,” McVay said on the show.
“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.”
The plantar fascia is the band of ligaments that runs along the bottom of one’s foot.
McVay, 39, was a high school football star quarterback in Georgia before going on to play wide receiver at Miami (Ohio). Hopefully for his sake the foot injury doesn’t rob him of that great athleticism that helped him during his playing career.
McVay is in his 9th season as the Rams’ head coach. He has led the team to four division titles, six playoff appearances, two Super Bowl appearances, and one championship. And now he’ll be coaching his 2-0 squad with a limp.
