In a recent game against the Arizona Cardinals, Rams wide receiver Cooper Kupp sustained an ankle injury towards the end of the first half and has been deemed doubtful to return. This injury comes at a challenging time for the Rams, who are already missing fellow wide receiver Puka Nacua for an extended period. With Kupp's potential absence, the Rams are left with a depleted receiving corps, relying on lesser-known players to step up.

In the Rams' preseason opener against the Cowboys, rookie wide receiver Jordan Whittington showcased his potential by catching six passes for 74 yards. Head coach Sean McVay expressed his enthusiasm for Whittington's performance, indicating that the rookie will play a significant role in the team's offense this season.
