The Los Angeles Rams emerged victorious this past Sunday in a thrilling match, and now they may have another reason to celebrate as one of their star players is set to make a comeback in Week 8.
Head coach Sean McVay, known for his strategic prowess on the field, confidently declared in the postgame press conference that wide receiver Cooper Kupp is expected to return for the upcoming clash against the Minnesota Vikings on Thursday.
Kupp, who has been sidelined since sustaining an ankle injury in Week 2, has been diligently working towards his comeback. Despite being limited in practice leading up to the game against the Pittsburgh Steelers, Kupp was unfortunately listed as questionable and ultimately deemed inactive for that matchup.
McVay shared his thoughts on Kupp’s progress, revealing, “He was close,” indicating that the talented receiver was nearing a return to action. The coach emphasized the importance of focusing on Kupp’s performance readiness rather than rushing him back onto the field. Looking ahead to Thursday’s game, McVay expressed hope that Kupp’s return will signal a turning point for the team.
Throughout the season, Kupp has proven to be a vital asset for the Rams, tallying 18 receptions for 147 yards and scoring one impressive touchdown. As the team prepares to face off against the Vikings, having Kupp back in the lineup could provide a significant boost to their offensive capabilities.
With anticipation building and fans eagerly awaiting Kupp’s return, all eyes will be on Thursday’s game to see if the star receiver can make a triumphant comeback and help lead the Rams to yet another victory in their quest for football glory.
