Rams’ Cooper Kupp to Play vs. Cardinals Despite Ankle Injury

As the Rams seek to keep their heads above water in a crowded NFC playoff field, they will get a valuable contributor back for their final game of November.

Los Angeles wide receiver Cooper Kupp will play against the Cardinals on Sunday, Rams coach Sean McVay told reporters Friday afternoon, per Gary Klein of the Los Angeles Times.

Kupp had been listed as day-to-day after spraining his ankle during Los Angeles’s 17–16 win over the Seahawks on Sunday. He exited that game in the second quarter with just a single catch for 11 yards.

In six games this season, Kupp has caught 24 passes for 375 yards and a touchdown. He didn’t make his season debut until Oct. 8 due to a hamstring injury.

Kupp, 30, is still trying to recapture the magic of his 2021 season, when he led the NFL in every major receiving category in the season the Rams won Super Bowl LVI.
