Is Cooper Kupp playing today? Injury updates for Rams WR

Is Cooper Kupp playing today Injury updates for Rams WR
Rams wide receiver Cooper Kupp is dealing with an ankle injury. Here are the latest updates.

(This story was updated to add new information.)

Cooper Kupp has been out since spraining his ankle in Week 2 against the Arizona Cardinals, causing him to miss the last three games for the Los Angeles Rams. He finally returned to practice this week in a limited capacity, aiming to return for today’s game against the Las Vegas Raiders.

The Rams understandably took it slow with their wideout, who was in a cast initially after the injury occurred, doing what they could to prevent any further damage to his ankle. The bye coming in Week 6 only helped the situation and prevented him from missing additional time.

Here’s the latest on Kupp’s status for Week 7 against the Raiders.

Cooper Kupp injury update

Kupp is expected to be a game-time decision against the Raiders on Sunday. Sean McVay emphasized the fact that he will truly be questionable, with the team taking all the time it can to make a decision on his status.

“He will be questionable for the game. He’s had a good week. I know that is what you guys are going to want to ask about and that is what you are going to get from me. He is making good progress and it is a possibility that he will be ready to go,” McVay said Friday.

Adam Schefter of ESPN reported early on Sunday morning that Kupp is unlikely to play, but the Rams still want to work him out before the game before making a decision.

Rams WR depth chart

  • WR1: Cooper Kupp
  • WR2: Demarcus Robinson
  • WR3: Jordan Whittington/Tutu Atwell
  • WR4: Tyler Johnson

Kupp will immediately become the top option on offense when he returns, especially with Puka Nacua still out. In only a game and a half, Kupp caught 18 passes for 147 yards and a touchdown.

Robinson, Whittington and Atwell should all remain involved in some capacity but it’s unclear which receiver will lose the most playing time with Kupp back.
