Los Angeles Rams All-Pro wide receiver Cooper Kupp missed Weeks 3 through 7 with an ankle injury.
The 31-year-old has been on fire since his Week 8 return.
Most recently, Kupp caught six passes for 106 yards and two touchdowns in the 5-5 Rams' 28-22 win over the 3-8 New England Patriots last Sunday, November 17.
According to Rams PR, Kupp "became the first player in NFL history to record 600+ receptions, 7,500+ receiving yards, and 50+ touchdown receptions in a player's first 100 career games."
Week 11 at New England was Kupp's 98th game since the Rams drafted him in the third round (No. 69 overall) in 2017. Kupp became a franchise icon when he finished 2021 with the receiver triple crown and the Super Bowl LVI MVP.
The Rams gave Kupp a dynamic running mate by snagging Puka Nacua in the fifth round of the 2023 NFL Draft. Nacua posted 105 catches, 1,486 yards, and six touchdowns as a rookie — evolving the Rams' overwhelming passing attack beyond Kupp.
Nacua also returned in Week 8 after missing Weeks 2 through 7 with a knee injury. The Rams will need Kupp and Nacua to be at their best if they hope to win the NFC West and make a deep playoff run in the waning years of the Matthew Stafford era.
The Rams have their biggest test of the season this Sunday night, November 24, when the 8-2 Philadelphia Eagles visit SoFi Stadium.
