Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Cooper Kupp, listed as questionable because of an ankle injury, is unlikely to play Sunday against the Las Vegas Raiders, sources told ESPN’s Adam Schefter on Saturday night.
The Rams, however, still want to work out Kupp before the game to make sure there is no change to his playing status. The Super Bowl LVI most valuable player has not played since he sprained his ankle in Week 2 against the Arizona Cardinals.
Wide receiver Jordan Whittington, meanwhile, is expected to play after being listed as questionable for Sunday because of a shoulder injury, a source told Schefter.
Kupp returned to practice in a limited capacity this week following Los Angeles’ bye. He racked up 18 receptions in the Rams’ first two games despite injuring his ankle during their blowout loss at Arizona.
Kupp has played in only 23 of the Rams’ 39 games since the 2021-22 season, when he won the triple crown of receiving by leading the NFL in catches, yards receiving and touchdown catches. He then starred in the postseason, winning the MVP award in the Rams’ victory over Cincinnati.
