Cooper Kupp Injury Roster Move Official for Los Angeles Rams vs. Philadelphia Eagles

Cooper Kupp Injury Roster Move Official for Los Angeles Rams vs. Philadelphia Eagles

The Los Angeles Rams on Saturday officially activated wide receiver Cooper Kupp from Injured Reserve, with the plan being that he'll play on Sunday in Week 5 against the undefeated Philadelphia Eagles ...

Which also means that "the band is back together'' in a sense ... plus some.

"It's good for our team but it's also good for somebody that you care a whole lot about," Rams coach Sean McVay said.

The Los Angeles Rams are hosting the Eagles at SoFi Stadium and this much-anticipated move means they set to welcome back one of the greatest players in franchise history. Kupp is coming off IR after dealing with a lingering offseason hamstring injury that kept him out for the first four games of the season.

Without the 2021 Offensive Player of the Year and Super Bowl MVP, the Rams have still managed to secure a 2-2 record behind the sensational play of rookie receiver Puka Nacua, who currently leads the league with 39 catches while sitting at third in total receiving yards (501). And now on Sunday? Kupp gets to reunite with Super Bowl QB partner Matthew Stafford. Puka and the others in the receivers room get to mesh on the field with Kupp.

And the 5-0 Eagles - as good as they are - get to join the rest of the NFL in watching the Rams as near as full strength as they've been this season ... with the physical and emotional lift to come from one of his generation's most accomplished players.
