THOUSAND OAKS, Calif. – Los Angeles Rams star receiver Cooper Kupp suffered a “setback” in his recovery from a hamstring injury, coach Sean McVay announced Thursday.

Kupp hurt his hamstring a few days into training camp earlier this month. Last week he returned to practice, including joint practices in Denver against the Broncos.

“He got a little muscle strain,” McVay said. “So we’re kind of taking it day by day with him. …I would probably call it a setback, I think it’s fair to say.”

Kupp, 30, also suffered a season-ending ankle sprain last year that required surgery. He missed spring OTAs, but said that was because he was spending time with his wife Anna as they welcomed a new baby. Kupp began training camp normally but pulled up during individual red zone drills after feeling a “tug” in his hamstring.

He is quarterback Matthew Stafford’s favorite receiving target, accounting for over 1/3 of the Rams’ target share in 2022 before his ankle injury.

I couldn’t tell you the first time I wore a pair of Converse Chuck Taylor All-Stars. I do know that I haven’t stopped wearing them. And neither have many, many others worldwide.

Odds are you have owned a pair. Your parents probably did, too. Even their parents probably rocked Chucks. I started back in the 1980s, growing up in South Central Los Angeles and Long Beach. They were about $30 back then.

I saw my favorite rappers wear them and mention them in songs. My peers wore them. They looked good with Dickies or denim. Some of my friends opted for the low-top version, high socks and shorts. Those who liked skateboarding and surfing wore them, too.

As I viewed my collection of Chucks, I wondered why I, and so many other people, continue to wear them. It’s nothing fancy: canvas with a rubber sole. It’s inexpensive — you won’t find a standard pair of Chucks sold on the secondary market for hundreds of dollars. Yet, a shoe that retails for about $65 remains a staple in fashion and culture.

Everyone from celebrities to the average citizen wears them … but why?

“It’s still the greatest shoe of all time: it transcends culture,” said Jeremy Kirkland, host of the “Blamo!” podcast, which discusses aspects of fashion. “It transcends every breadth of American culture,…
