Rams’ Star Wide Receiver Cooper Kupp Unlikely to Play on Sunday
Los Angeles Rams fans are bracing themselves for disappointing news: Cooper Kupp, the team’s star wide receiver, is unlikely to take the field on Sunday against the Las Vegas Raiders. According to sources, Kupp’s ankle injury, which he sustained in Week 2, is still a major concern.
A Game-Day Decision
Although Kupp is listed as questionable, the Rams want to exercise caution and will put him through a pre-game workout to assess his condition. The team is hesitant to rule him out entirely, but it seems unlikely that he will be ready to play.
Kupp’s Injury History
This is not the first time Kupp has struggled with injuries. Since the 2021-22 season, he has played in just 23 of the Rams’ 39 games. Despite this, he has consistently demonstrated his value to the team when he is on the field. In the first two games of this season, Kupp racked up an impressive 18 receptions before injuring his ankle.
A Glimmer of Hope
On a more positive note, wide receiver Jordan Whittington is expected to play on Sunday despite being listed as questionable due to a shoulder injury. Whittington’s availability will be a welcome boost to the Rams’ offense.
Kupp’s Road to Recovery
Kupp returned to practice in a limited capacity this week, following the Rams’ bye. While this is a promising development, it is clear that the team is taking a cautious approach to his recovery. As the Super Bowl 56 MVP, Kupp’s health is a top priority for the Rams.
