Los Angeles Rams head coach Sean McVay revealed that he tore his plantar fascia during his team's Week 2 road win against the Tennessee Titans on Sunday (September 14) during his Coach McVay Show Monday (September 15) night.
McVay, the youngest coach to win a Super Bowl in NFL history, didn't specify what happened, but was seen pulling up awkwardly while attempting to call a timeout during the game.
"Foot's good," McVay said via ESPN. "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 the "thick band of tissue that runs across the bottom of each foot and connects the heel bone to the toes, known as the plantar fascia," according to the Mayo Clinic. McVay didn't specify whether he needed to wear a walking boot while healing from the injury.
McVay, a former college football wide receiver, has been active on the Rams' sideline during his nine NFL seasons, commonly sprinting to referees and celebrating with players, while also previously having a personal coach responsible for reeling him back.
