Los Angeles Rams star receiver Cooper Kupp left Sunday’s game against the Arizona Cardinals with an ankle injury, leaving his status up in the air for the future. The 31-year-old wideout suffered the injury late in the second quarter, limping off the field before receiving attention from trainers on the sideline. Despite attempting to return to the game briefly, Kupp was ultimately held out.
In his postgame press conference, head coach Sean McVay provided no update on Kupp’s condition, leaving reporters and fans alike in suspense. However, multiple sources on the Rams beat noted that Kupp was seen sporting a walking boot on his left foot in the locker room, raising concerns about the severity of the injury.
Prior to his early exit, Kupp managed to haul in four passes for 37 yards in a limited capacity. His absence would be a major setback for the Rams, especially considering his stellar performance last week with 14 receptions for 110 yards and a touchdown.
Adding to the team’s injury woes is the fact that Puka Nacua is already on injured reserve with a knee injury, further depleting the Rams’ receiving corps. The potential loss of Kupp for an extended period of time would undoubtedly be a significant blow to Los Angeles’ offensive firepower.
As the team awaits further updates on Kupp’s injury status, the Rams will have to pivot and adjust their game plan moving forward in order to compensate for the absence of their star receiver. Stay tuned for more information on Kupp’s condition as the story continues to develop.
