NFL players aren’t the only ones dealing with injuries during the early stage of the 2025 season. Los Angeles Rams coach Sean McVay was banged up in his team’s Week 2 game against the Tennessee Titans as well.
McVay revealed on ‘The Coach McVay Show,’ hosted by J.B. Long of the Rams, that he had suffered a torn plantar fascia – a thick tissue that runs across the bottom of the foot – during the 33-19 victory but was feeling ‘good.’
‘I was being dramatic, limping around towards the end of the game, but the MRI confirmed I did that,’ McVay said of his torn plantar fascia. ‘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 did not specify exactly when he suffered the injury, but he did, at one point during the contest, pull up while calling a timeout. And as the 39-year-old coach mentioned, he was limping on the sideline during the latter stages of the game.
It isn’t clear how long McVay will be impacted by the injury, as recovery time for a torn plantar fascia varies depending on the injury’s severity.
McVay also did not specify whether he would need to wear a walking boot as he recovers.
Nonetheless, McVay is expected to be on the sidelines in Week 3 when the Rams face the Philadelphia Eagles in a battle of 2-0 NFC teams.
