Rams' McVay: Kupp to miss 'extended period of time'

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Cooper Kupp could be placed on injured reserve due to an ankle injury that he sustained Sunday, head coach Sean McVay said Monday, according to Adam Grosbard of the Orange County Register.

McVay added that Kupp will be out for "an extended period of time." He will be required to miss at least four games if he's placed on injured reserve.

Offensive lineman Jonah Jackson is also set to miss time with a fractured scapula and will likely be placed on injured reserve, sources told Ian Rapoport of NFL Network.

Kupp sustained his injury in the team's 41-10 Week 2 loss to the Arizona Cardinals. He had four receptions for 37 yards before exiting with the ailment.

The 31-year-old was looking to rebound from a pair of injury-shortened campaigns. He played in just nine games in 2022 and 12 games in 2023, but he was still productive when on the field. The Eastern Washington product had 1,549 yards and 11 touchdowns on 134 receptions in those contests.

Kupp is the latest Ram expected to miss time. Wide receiver Puka Nacua, offensive linemen Steve Avila and Joe Noteboom, safety John Johnson, and cornerback Darious Williams are among those that are on - or will be placed on - the team's injured reserve list.

Demarcus Robinson, Tyler Johnson, Tutu Atwell, and Jordan Whittington are the only healthy wide receivers on the Rams' active roster with Kupp and Nacua sidelined. Los Angeles also has three wideouts on its practice squad.
