Rams head coach Sean McVay announced that wide receiver Cooper Kupp needs surgery on his ankle and will be placed on injured reserve. That means Kupp will miss at least four weeks, but the team will assess his return depending on how their season unfolds.
Kupp injured his ankle in the fourth quarter of Los Angeles’s 27–17 loss to the Cardinals on Sunday. After the game, McVay acknowledged that the injury “didn’t look good, it didn’t sound good,” but they were waiting for further tests to diagnose.
On Monday, it was reported that Kupp had a high ankle sprain that would require him to miss multiple weeks.
