Cooper Kupp's return to the Los Angeles Rams lineup after their Week 6 bye is uncertain, according to head coach Sean McVay.

Why it matters: Kupp has been a crucial part of the Rams' offense and his absence has been felt in recent weeks. His potential return would provide a significant boost to the team's receiving corps.

What's new: McVay mentioned that while returning after the bye week would be ideal, it is not guaranteed. The decision will depend on Kupp's progress and recovery from his ankle sprain.

Yes, but: Kupp's absence has allowed other receivers like Robert Woods and Van Jefferson to step up and make important contributions to the offense.

What to watch: Keep an eye on Kupp's participation in practice leading up to Week 7's game against the Raiders. His availability for that game will provide further insight into his potential return timeline.

The bottom line: The Rams are hopeful for Kupp's return, but they will prioritize his long-term health and ensure he is fully recovered before allowing him back on the field.
