Cooper Kupp Injured in Game Against Cardinals
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.

Puka Nacua Facing Extended Absence Due to Knee Injury
Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Puka Nacua is expected to miss 5 to 7 weeks due to a PCL sprain in his right knee. Initially injured during training camp, Nacua returned for the season opener but reinjured the knee, leading to his placement on injured reserve. With a bye week in Week 6, there is a possibility he could return in Week 7 against the Raiders if his recovery progresses well. In his absence, Cooper Kupp is expected to take on a larger role in the Rams' offense, with other receivers likely to see increased targets.

Rams WR Puka Nacua could miss 5-7 weeks, sources say
Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Puka Nacua is facing a potential absence of 5-7 weeks due to a PCL injury he sustained during a game against the Detroit Lions. After being placed on injured reserve, Nacua's return is uncertain, with the Rams prioritizing his long-term health. This situation mirrors last year's season opener when the Rams played without star receiver Cooper Kupp, allowing Nacua to emerge as a standout player.
