Rams head coach Sean McVay says Cooper Kupp has had a "setback." He calls it a "muscle strain."Day-to-day, per McVay.

"We're obviously a much better team when he's out there."

These minor setbacks seem to be adding up for the 30-year-old Kupp's hamstring. Though fantasy drafters should refrain from overreacting, this certainly isn't a good look. Moving the surrounding cast of Ja'Marr Chase, Tyreek Hill, and Stefon Diggs over Kupp is not out of the question as it stands.

Cooper Kupp and Derion Kendrick will practice against the Broncos, per Sean McVay.

There was hope Kupp would return for last week's joint practices but when the Rams said he would 't there were at least some alarm bells set off. But it looks like Kupp will be good to go this week with the hope of playing in Week 1. He's been sidelined since Aug. 1.

Rams receiver Cooper Kupp continues to be out of practice with an injury the Rams continue to downplay as “day-to-day.”

At one point, an impression was created that he would return for joint practices this week against the Raiders. On Sunday, coach Sean McVay created the impression that Kupp won’t be back.

“I would say it’s more likely that he will not, but I don’t have any clarity on that,” McVay said. “I would think Denver’s probably a more realistic goal but there is a chance. He’s feeling good and making good progress, but I don’t know if we’ll have him go this week.”

Hopefully the Rams are just playing it safe with Kupp, who missed the final eight games of the season a year ago. We'll likely know more next week when the Rams are scheduled to take part in joint practices with the Broncos.

Rams’ offensive coordinator Mike LaFleur on the status of WR Cooper Kupp, who hurt his hamstring this week: “He’s day-to-day. He'll be back in the right time and stuff like that. So he is just going through the rehab process, but he's day-to-day. He'll be alright.”

Kupp walked off the field earlier this week after he "came up a bit" during a red zone route. This is good news, though it wouldn't be surprising if the team shuts him down until closer to Week 1. If drafters are scared off of Kupp, and you find him past his 1.05/1.06 ADP, feel free to pounce.

LA Rams wide receiver Cooper Kupp underwent an MRI on his injured hamstring after leaving practice early Tuesday night, a source told ESPN's Adam Schefter. The source said the Rams will be cautious with Kupp's injury but that he could be back "for scrimmages in a few weeks."

Kupp walked off the field with the training staff about 30 minutes into a two-hour workout at UC Irvine. Matthew Stafford and other players didn't see exactly what happened, but coach Sean McVay said he was told Kupp "came up a little bit in a red zone route."

The immediate feedback around the injury is that it's of minimal concern regarding his Week 1 availability. If Kupp starts to fall back into the back-half of the first round he would remain a great bargain.

On the second day of camp Thursday, Kupp was busy, catching passes all over the field, including one he tipped to himself in traffic for a long touchdown from Matthew Stafford.

“This is my second day running full speed, like competitive stuff,” Kupp said after practice at the University of California, Irvine. “Being camp, things feel fast, like they're just moving a little faster than you're used to. But man, even just from the first day to second day, things definitely [starting to feel] like, OK, now we're back into the groove.

In eight full games last season, Cooper Kupp scored the second-most fantasy points and the first-most fantasy points per game (20.3). Kupp was the WR21 despite missing nine games in 2022, and with Matthew Stafford back on the field, his unworldly target% should return.

Rams coach Sean McVay confirms the team has an interest in bringing back Odell Beckham Jr. and says he loves him but notes there are a lot of other teams interested, so they’ll see how it plays out.

It's been well over a calendar year since we've seen Beckham in a uniform, but he had some truly great moments with the Rams, including a touchdown in the Super Bowl and a 113-yard game in the Conference Championship. He also proved to be an inconsistent part of the offense at times. If Los Angeles brings him back, he would eat heavily into Allen Robinson and/or Van Jefferson's snaps, as they deployed him from out wide on around 80% of his snaps through his 12 games with the team.

Will Cooper Kupp play again this season? Sean McVay says he'd be "hard pressed" to see such a scenario.

It's not a surprise as the Rams have been hit with injuries this season and have no chance at a playoff run. The focus will be getting Kupp 100% for the 2023, with the hope of making another Super Bowl run on what will hopefully be a beefed-up and improved offense.

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Cooper Kupp suffered a high ankle sprain in Sunday's loss to the Arizona Cardinals and the injury will require surgery, head coach Sean McVay announced on Tuesday.

Kupp will be having tightrope surgery on Wednesday and the All-Pro WR will be placed on injured reserve, holding him out for at least four games, McVay added according to the story. While it's possible Kupp could return to this season, according to several other sources, with the Rams season fading fast there may be no reason to do that. It's a big loss for fantasy owners who were still getting fantasy production despite the Rams struggles on offense. TE Higbee could see a nice bump in production while at WR, Robinson, Jefferson and Skowronek could also see increases. It's a big hit for the already-struggling QB Matthew Stafford.

Following an MRI of what was purported to be a "very painful" ankle injury, Cooper Kupp is expected to miss some time, though the exact length is to be determined.

Though Kupp's massive target share will likely be spread out quite evenly, Van Jefferson could be in for the biggest boost, per beat reporter Jordan Rodrigue. The Rams have quickly plummeted from Super Bowl winners into one of the worst offenses in the NFL, severely capping the fantasy ceiling of everybody in the lineup, even more so with their best offensive weapon sidelined.
