Cooper Kupp, a star receiver, will not play in the Thursday Night Football game against the Las Vegas Raiders. This is bad news for people who play fantasy football.
The Los Angeles Rams put him on IR because he is still getting better from an ankle injury he got a few weeks ago. Cooper Kupp is still out, and no one knows when he will be back.
The Rams miss him a lot. So far, the defending Super Bowl champions have had a terrible season. As Week 14 begins, they are 3-9. So, when the Raiders play the Rams in prime-time football at the SoFi Stadium, they are favored by -7 points.
- Do you know that Super Bowl champion and Washington Redskins legend Dave Butz passed away recently at the age of 72?
In 9 games this season, he has 75 catches for 812 yards and 7 touchdowns. In comparison, Kupp had 145 catches for 1,947 yards and 16 touchdowns in 17 games during the 2016 season.
The Los Angeles Rams need their star receiver back, but since it doesn’t look like they’ll make the playoffs this year, they could speed up his return.
Proud of these guys!! No quit baby!
And welcome to LA, @bakermayfield!

The Rams also got Baker Mayfield and it will be interesting to see how he does under Sean McVay in Los Angeles. We don’t know if Matthew Stafford will play this season or not, so getting Baker Mayfield is a great move.
When will Cooper Kupp be able to play again for the Rams?
When will Cooper Kupp play again for the Rams? We’ll tell you the answer to that question here. At first, Kupp’s recovery was expected to take 5–6 weeks.
On December 21, it will have been five weeks since the surgery. Six weeks will be December 28. Here’s what the Rams’ schedule looked like around that time.
- Week 16 December 25: Broncos vs. Rams
- Week 17 January 1: Rams vs. Chargers
- Week 18 January 8: Rams vs. Seahawks
Even though LA needs a miracle to make the playoffs, there is still a good chance that the Rams will shut down Kupp for the rest of the season.
Kupp did tweet soon after the incident that he would “get this fixed, then go back to work to get back to work!” But because Kupp is so important to the Rams, it is likely that the WR won’t play again this season.
Cooper Kupp is Among the LA Rams’ Missing Stars
For tonight’s game against the Las Vegas Raiders, the Los Angeles Rams will be missing several key players. Matthew Stafford, Aaron Donald, and Cooper Kupp are all injured and can’t play, and the Rams will play a tough team.
I had Breece Hall and Cooper Kupp. My team was cooking 😭

Tonight could be Baker Mayfield’s first game with the Rams, and many people will be pulling for him to do well in L.A. Mayfield will be a free agent at the end of the season, and if he does well with the Rams, it could save his career in the NFL.
The Las Vegas Raiders have won their last three games and still have a chance to make the playoffs. Derek Carr and Davante Adams will be determined to lead the Raiders to another win and put them in a good position for their playoff push.
Rams Odds
Even though they won the Super Bowl last year, the Rams have been one of the most disappointing teams in the NFL this year. Before the season began, Sean McVay’s team had +1200 odds of making it to the Super Bowl. After Kupp got hurt, the odds for the LA Rams went up to +15000.
