If Sean McVay was an NFL player, he’d be out for the year.
McVay revealed that he tore his plantar fascia during Sunday’s win against the Tennessee Titans.
“Foot’s good,” said McVay. “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.”
The plantar fascia is a thick tissue running along the sole of the foot. McVay didn’t say whether he would need to wear a walking boot as his injury heals.
The 39-year-old McVay played wide receiver at Miami of Ohio. He has been an active, mobile coach during his nine seasons on the Rams’ sideline, often sprinting over to the referees for a conversation, or occasionally down to the end zone for a celebration with his players.
The Rams (2-0) visit defending Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday in a rematch of last year’s NFC Divisional Round Game.
