Cooper Kupp (hamstring, IR) 'progressing' for Rams
Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Cooper Kupp is "ramping up his workload" and "progressing" with his hamstring injury, per head coach Sean McVay.
What It Means:
McVay said the Rams are hopeful Kupp will be able to return from injured reserve when he's first eligible in Week 5. Kupp's return will cut into the target shares of Puka Nacua and Tutu Atwell, but it should help boost the overall efficiency of the Rams offense.
Kupp is the WR12 in numberFire's season-long rankings if he returns in Week 5 and remains healthy until the end of the season. Our models project him for 126.0 targets, 88.4 receptions, 983.5 yards, and 7.02 touchdowns. Nacua is the WR26 and Atwell is the WR49 in our rest-of-season rankings.
