What happened: Grupe entered the medical tent after injuring his knee while attempting a tackle on a kickoff with the game in progress, per Adam Schefter.

Why it matters: Los Angeles recently added the former Notre Dame kicker to handle kicking duties, and an in-game absence disrupts special teams execution on field goals, extra points, and kickoffs.

What to watch: Team medical staff will evaluate Grupe during the active contest to determine whether he can return to kicking duties.
