Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Cooper Kupp may avoid injured reserve despite suffering a sprained ankle that is expected to sideline him for an extended period. Coach Sean McVay indicated that Kupp's injury is not season-ending and does not require surgery, but the team is weighing their options for IR slots with multiple players already on the list. With Kupp and fellow receiver Puka Nacua out, the Rams will rely on their remaining healthy wideouts.
- Kupp's injury is serious but not season-ending.
