On September 16, 2024, Rams wide receiver Cooper Kupp sustained an ankle injury during the team’s loss to the Arizona Cardinals. Head coach Sean McVay announced that Kupp will be out for an “extended period” and may be placed on injured reserve, although the injury is not expected to end his season.
Kupp’s injury occurred during the first half of the 41-10 defeat at State Farm Stadium. He was seen limping off the field just before halftime and did not return. Initial hopes that the Rams were simply being cautious due to the lopsided score have been dispelled, confirming the injury’s seriousness.
At 31, Kupp has dealt with numerous injuries over the years but remains one of the league’s top receivers when healthy. The Rams are dealing with multiple injuries early this season, including wide receiver Puka Nacua, who also left last week’s game with a knee injury and is expected to miss significant time.
