Rams HC Sean McVay suffered notable injury in Week 2

Put Sean McVay on the injury report. On Monday night, the Los Angeles Rams head coach revealed he hurt himself in a Week 2 win over the Tennessee Titans. 

The 39-year-old coach didn't say when the injury occurred, but the Associated Press reported Tuesday, "He appeared to pull up awkwardly while moving to call a timeout during the 33-19 win."  

"Foot's good," McVay said while smiling on his weekly show with the team website."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 cool little limp to add some swag, then you'll know why."

Sean McVay says he tore plantar fascia in Week 2

The plantar fascia is a thick tissue that runs from the heel to the toes. It acts as a shock absorber and provides stability. McVay didn't say whether he will wear a walking boot as the injury heals.

McVay may not be playing in Sunday's road game against the also 2-0 Philadelphia Eagles, but the injury will still affect him. Mobility is pivotal for coaches. For example, they must sprint down the sideline to call a timeout in a close game late in the fourth quarter.

McVay — one of the more energetic coaches in the league — should have trouble staying still. The Super Bowl LVI champion is known for pacing the Los Angeles sideline and celebrating with players throughout games. He once had to hire a "get back" coach, Ted Rath (now with the New Orleans Saints), to ensure he didn't stray too far from the sideline during games. 

Monitor if McVay will try to tone his intensity down in Sunday's matchup at 1 p.m. ET on Fox, or if he'll be hobbling up and down the sideline. The Rams hope it's the former.
