Random Ramsdom: Cooper Kupp could return after bye week

Los Angeles Rams News and Links for 10/7/24

The Los Angeles Rams fell to 1-4 after their close loss to the Green Bay Packers in Week 5, so there is plenty of reason for fans to be pessimistic. However, there are still some reasons to be positive such as the possibility that Cooper Kupp could return in Week 7 following LA’s bye week.

Will Kupp actually be back? We’ll have to wait and see, but reading that it is a possibility should be better news for the Rams than reading that he will be out longer. LA and the fans will just have to wait and see.

Another non victory Monday but now the team and fans can take a break with the Rams being on bye. Please comment on whatever you’d like and thanks for checking out Turf Show Times!

“Quarterback Jordan Love picked up where he left off, showcasing the same boom-or-bust gunslinging that both helped and hurt his squad against the Vikings the week prior. His deep ball to a triple-covered Jayden Reed helped get Green Bay on the board first, but a pick six thrown while going to the ground in his own end zone later invited L.A. to keep things close. In the end, he did enough to reclaim the lead, leaning on Kraft as an over-the-middle safety valve, as well as an opportunistic Packers secondary.”

“The decision to keep Kupp on the active roster naturally led to optimism that he would be back on the field sooner rather than later, optimism that grew when it became clear that he would not require surgery on the ankle. As fellow wideout Puka Nacua’s knee injury forced the team to place him on IR, Kupp’s imminent return is surely a welcome development.

Of course, Schefter qualified his report with the caveat that Kupp will return in Week 7 “as long as there are no setbacks in practice.” Given the injury problems that have plagued the 2021 Triple Crown winner, the absence of setbacks cannot be assumed.

After his dominant 2021 season, in which he led the league in receptions (145), yards (1,947) and receiving touchdowns (16) and took home Super Bowl MVP honors, Kupp landed a three-year, $80M extension. Unfortunately, a high ankle sprain cut the ensuing 2022 campaign short, and he opened the 2023 season on IR with a hamstring ailment.”
