Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Cooper Kupp will not play Sunday against the Las Vegas Raiders.
The Rams, however, wanted to work out Kupp before the game before ultimately decided to make him inactive. The Super Bowl LVI MVP has not played since he sprained his ankle in Week 2 against the Arizona Cardinals.
Wide receiver Jordan Whittington, meanwhile, is active after being listed as questionable for Sunday because of a shoulder injury.
Kupp returned to practice in a limited capacity this week following Los Angeles’ bye. He racked up 18 receptions in the Rams’ first two games despite injuring his ankle during their blowout loss at Arizona.
He has played in only 23 of the Rams’ 39 games since the 2021 season, when he won the triple crown of receiving by leading the NFL in catches, receiving yards and touchdown catches. He then starred in the postseason, winning the MVP award in the Rams’ victory over the Cincinnati Bengals.
