The Los Angeles Rams are in the midst of an injury crisis two weeks into the 2024 regular season, but there is somewhat of a positive update regarding one of their star receivers. Initially, Rams head coach Sean McVay said Cooper Kupp was a candidate to end up on injured reserve with his high-ankle sprain.

Unlike offensive lineman Jonah Jackson (shoulder) and safety John Johnson III (shoulder), star receiver Cooper Kupp did not go on injured reserve. Head coach Sean McVay said Kupp’s left-ankle injury is not season-ending and will not require surgery. He will be in a cast for the next week and then begin his rehab.

Kupp has racked up 18 catches for 147 yards and one touchdown through two games this season, leaving early in the second contest. Kupp is one of the main engines that makes the Rams offense click so losing him for any extended amount of time is a detriment to their playoff chances.
