Cooper Kupp injury update: What happened to the Rams WR?

Meanwhile, Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford said Kupp was limping and was hopeful he would be OK.

"[Kupp] ran across the field, did a really nice job, and then was limping a little bit," Stafford said, via ESPN. "And he doesn't usually limp for too long. Sometimes you get stepped on and you limp for a minute and walk one off. But we will see what that is. Obviously a huge part of our team and a huge part of our offense."

With Kupp not coming out to complete the game against the Cardinals, it is a concern for fantasy managers. Kupp's injury history has always been a concern, and ankle injuries could linger.

Fantasy managers should be worried about Kupp leaving the game in a walking boot. Managers should look at the waiver wire for other receivers to help replace Kupp if he is out for a while.

When will Cooper Kupp return?

The Los Angeles Rams have yet to reveal the injury that Cooper Kupp sustained in their Week 2 road loss to the Arizona Cardinals.

Kupp does have a history of injuries to his ankle. He had surgery on his right ankle two years ago after a similar sprain. If it is an ankle sprain, Kupp will likely be out for a couple of weeks.

With the Rams having their bye week in Week 6, Los Angeles could opt to keep him out until after the break, which would give him four weeks of recovery.
