Rams WR Puka Nacua aggravated his summer knee injury Sunday night vs. the Lions.

Nacua is still going through additional testing, according to Schefter. He is expected to be considered week to week, per sources. That likely means his Week 2 status is in doubt. The Rams are at Arizona in Week 2 in a later afternoon game, so owners will need a backup plan. Kupp took advantage with 14 catches and 110 yards and could do so again in Week 2 if Nacua is out of action. The Rams could look to Johnson (5-79-0), Robinson and Parkinson at TE to make up for the loss of Nacua, much like they did in Week 1. Whittington, who is a rookie, is another name to watch.

Sean McVay says Puka Nacua is practicing fully.

“He’ll be ready to roll.”

There's been a lot of hand-wringing about Nacua's knee injury, and it has dropped him well out of the first round on many occasions. He remains a a fringe WR1 option if he heads into Week 1 fully healthy.

During an appearance on NFL Network Monday, Cooper Kupp said that his good health and the chance to work out with quarterback Matthew Stafford has him feeling primed for a return to his desired form.

“I feel good. We got a lot of good work in this offseason,” Kupp said. “The best thing about this last year was just being able to feel healthy and have a full offseason of work, not just for myself in terms of working out and building my body back up but also having that time with Matthew, being able to get on the field and work through things together.

The key for Kupp has been his ability to get a normal offseason under his belt. Kupp ended the 2022 season on injured reserve and then started the 2023 season the same way, which has helped make it feel like it’s been even longer since he was the NFL’s offensive player of the year, the story said. The story added this offseason has been a lot smoother for Kupp. He returned from a hamstring injury to play 13 games last year and he’s been able to work without any health concerns since the Rams’ season ended against the Lions in the Wild Card round of the playoffs.

Looks like Puka Nakua, Cooper Kupp and a bunch of other Rams players reported to camp last night, but QB1 (Matthew Stafford) wasn't one of them...

All eyes on No. 9 today.

Today is the actual day Ram players are required to show up for camp, so Stafford could still arrive today. Stafford, of course, would like a contract extension and both sides have been silent. Another beat writer, Jourdan Rodrigue, pointed out that Stafford did take part in camps all spring, so there is little reason to believe he won't show up for the start of training camp.

Bucs have said they’ll use Chris Godwin in the slot, after shifting him outside last year with an eye on avoiding injuries. It’s the role Cooper Kupp had with the Rams when Coen was there.

Godwin had been around the 70% slot range over the previous three seasons before logging only 37% of his snaps from inside last year. If he returns to that role in 2024, we might not see a ton from rookie Jalen McMillan to begin the season. Through four years at Washington, McMillan lined up in the slot nearly two-thirds of the time, including a 92% rate in '22.

Godwin's explosive games have lessened recently, but he still makes an intriguing low-end WR3 in fantasy.

Tutu Atwell is in the concussion protocol, per Rams spokesperson.

Atwell left the game in the second quarter and it opened the door for Robinson to see more playing time. He finished with a 3-46-1 line on 10 targets. The trend has been for players to miss a game when placed in protocol so this could be a situation to watch heading into Week 15 for Atwell. It would be tough to trust Robinson in typical leagues, especially running behind Kupp and Nacua.

Sean McVay said WR Cooper Kupp will play on Sunday against Arizona.

With Kupp active, you've got to get him in your lineup. Along with Nacua, they can be considered WR1/2s, with Atwell getting knocked down the pecking order as a desperation FLEX option

Rams receiver Cooper Kupp had to exit Sunday’s game due to injury, but it doesn’t sound like he’ll miss too much time — if any at all.

Per Ian Rapoport of NFL Media, Kupp is dealing with a low-ankle sprain and the club will evaluate him over the course of the week.

The story quoted HC Sean McVay: “He was going to try to come back and play,” McVay said in his postgame press conference. “He was moving around at the beginning of the second half and we were hoping that he’d be able to go, but it just didn’t quite feel good enough.” The Rams get the Cardinals in Week 12 and the hope is Kupp can return to the lineup.

Rams WR Cooper Kupp limped off the field with an apparent ankle injury. He has gone into the locker room.

Kupp had his ankle stepped on while blocking on a run play. Video surfaced of him being checked out by trainers. We'll get more word down the line, but for now, Kupp is out.

The Rams activated WR Cooper Kupp from injured reserve Saturday.

Kupp will play Sunday against the Eagles after missing the first four games of the season while on injured reserve with a lingering hamstring injury. Kupp immediately shoots into the top ten on our wide receiver board this week, giving the Rams two strong options with Puka Nacua having his strong start to his career. The Rams offense looks to have plenty of juice again.
