Cooper Kupp expected to return for the Rams' game against the Raiders

Why it matters: The return of wide receiver Cooper Kupp will provide a significant boost to the Los Angeles Rams' offense, adding another weapon for quarterback Matthew Stafford.

Kupp's absence was felt in the past two games as the Rams split their record without him.

  • Tutu Atwell stepped up in Kupp's absence, leading the team in receptions and receiving yards, but Kupp's experience and chemistry with Stafford cannot be replicated.

What's new: Sources indicate that the Rams are anticipating Kupp's return for their October 20th game against the Las Vegas Raiders, as long as there are no setbacks in practice.

  • Adam Schefter confirmed this report, stating that the Rams are planning for Kupp's return.

Yes, but: It is important to note that Kupp's return depends on his ability to avoid any setbacks during practice.

  • High ankle sprains can be tricky and may require careful monitoring to ensure full recovery.

What to watch: Keep an eye on Kupp's participation and progress in practice leading up to the game.

  • If Kupp is limited or experiences any setbacks, his return timeline could be delayed.

What's next: Assuming Kupp returns as anticipated, he will provide a significant boost to the Rams' passing game.

  • His chemistry with Stafford and ability to find open spaces in defenses make him a valuable target.

The bottom line: With Kupp back in the lineup, the Rams' offense becomes even more potent and versatile.

  • Kupp's return will provide a boost to the Rams' chances of success and further solidify their status as contenders.
