Cooper Kupp injury update: Rams WR status revealed after heading to locker room

The LA Rams suffered a scare on Sunday, when star wideout Cooper Kupp suffered an injury against the Arizona Cardinals. Their receiving corps was already thin with star wide receiver Puka Nacua out for several weeks with an injury. Kupp was assisted off the field, but was able to walk into the locker room, but with a noticeable limp. Shortly after the game resumed in the second half, Omar Ruiz of the NFL Network reported that Kupp is doubtful to return to the game with an ankle injury.

Kupp has a pretty extensive injury history, with most of his issues in the past few years being on his right ankle. This time it’s his left ankle. Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford hasn’t looked 100 percent in the game on Sunday, but he still managed to stay in the game. The game was nationally televised on FOX.

After he left the locker room, Kupp had a walking boot on his left foot/lower leg, according to Jourdan Rodrigue, a senior writer for The Athletic. When he’s healthy, he’s shown himself to be one of the best players in the league, regardless of position. So, it will be an extremely important injury for fans to monitor moving forward.

Cooper Kupp has had a prolific career in the pros and college

During his prolific career in the league thus far in the NFL, Kupp has hauled in 581 catches for 7,176 yards, while bringing in 52 touchdowns. He’s had two seasons with over 1,000 receiving yards, including one in 2021 when he reeled in 145 catches for 1,947 yards and 16 touchdowns.

During his marvelous 2021 season, Kupp teamed up with Matthew Stafford and Aaron Donald to lead the Rams to a Super Bowl Championship. Kupp was also named Super Bowl MVP after he hauled in the game-winning touchdown catch.

Kupp spent his college career with Eastern Washington, where he was one of the most dominant receivers in FCS history. He finished as the college football all-division career-leader in receiving yards (6,464). He was also the FCS career leader in receiving touchdowns (73) and receptions (428).
