Coach Sean McVay claimed that he had not yet received a briefing from the athletic training team and was not aware of Kupp’s health.

McVay in a statement said, “I saw he looked like he came up a little bit on a red zone route, and then I just know they told me he was out for practice. I have no more information than that.”

The 30-year-old encountered difficulties in the 2022 season after suffering a high ankle injury that prevented him from playing in the second half of the year. He had a tightrope recovery operation to address the injury. Kupp missed the spring OTAs at first, but he recovered completely and was taking part in training camp.

Unfortunately, over the spring and summer, the Rams’ receiving group also had to deal with injuries. Van Jefferson has experienced knee problems, necessitating several cautious rest days. Ben Skowronek also missed practice on Tuesday because of back discomfort.

As of now, there is no information or update regarding Kupp’s return to the squad, as it depends more on the nature of the injury.
