The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/los-angeles-rams" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Los Angeles Rams</a> will have <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/matthew-staffordhttps://bolavip.com/en/topic/matthew-stafford" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Matthew Stafford</a> on the field for the 2023 <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NFL</a> season. Even though the quarterback has fully recovered from his injuries, now he might lose a crucial teammate for the entire campaign.



Last year, the Rams were unable to defend their <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/super-bowl" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Super Bowl</a> LVI title correctly. The team finished with a 5-12 record, only above the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/arizona-cardinals" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Arizona Cardinals</a> in the NFC West and very far from a Wild Card spot.


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20230901#BUS#55905"></div>


Unfortunately, they couldn’t count on Matthew Stafford for the second half of the campaign. The quarterback suffered multiple injuries, and after nine games, the team decided to place him on injured reserve.



<h2>Rams might lose a crucial player of Matthew Stafford’s offense</h2>



Matthew Stafford just returned to the Los Angeles Rams and he has received the worst news possible. According to several reports, Cooper Kupp, their star wide receiver, might be placed on injury reserve, which means that his 2023 season is in jeopardy.



The Rams announced that Kupp won’t participate in their Week 1 game against the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/seattle-seahawks" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Seattle Seahawks</a> due to his hamstring injury. If he is placed on IR before the season, they can’t return him to their active roster for the entire campaign.

<h2>Who could be Cooper Kupp’s replacement as the Rams’ No. 1 wide receiver?</h2>



If Cooper Kupp continues to be injured, it seems like Van Jefferson would be the new No. 1 wide receiver in Matthew Stafford’s offense.

It won’t be be easy for the&nbsp;Rams&nbsp;in the NFC West where the&nbsp;<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/san-francisco-49ers" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">San Francisco 49ers</a>&nbsp;are massive favorites. Furthermore, the&nbsp;<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/seattle-seahawks" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Seahawks</a>&nbsp;are a team on the rise with&nbsp;Geno Smith. Now, when they thought it won’t happen, Los Angeles might have lost one of their top players.



<h2>Cooper Kupp is out again with the Rams due to injury</h2>



A month ago, Cooper Kupp&nbsp;left practice with a hamstring injury. However, at first, the&nbsp;Rams&nbsp;were confident he would be ready for the opener against the Seattle Seahawks&nbsp;on September 10.







Now, head coach Sean McVay doesn’t sound too optimistic as there’s a confirmed setback in Kupp’s recovery. “I think we just take it a day at a time right now. We want to be able to get him back right. We’re obviously a much better team when he’s available.”



So, the big question for McVay was a return date. “There’s a difference between return to play and return to performance. We want to make sure we are smart with that and getting him back to feeling like the Cooper Kupp we all know and that he’s able to play the way that he’s capable of. Whether that is September 10 or not, we’ll continue to monitor that and control what we can control.” 



The&nbsp;Rams&nbsp;just can’t afford to lose again their best offensive player on the roster. In 2022,&nbsp;Cooper Kupp&nbsp;missed the last eight games of the season because of a high ankle sprain and that derailed any hopes of a playoff run.


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20230817#BUS#47862"></div>


Los Angeles need him in 2021 form when he led the&nbsp;NFL&nbsp;in catches, receiving touchdowns and receiving yards. It’s important to remember they traded&nbsp;Allen Robinson II&nbsp;to the&nbsp;Steelers&nbsp;so their depth chart has&nbsp;Van Jefferson, Demarcus Robinson, Tutu Atwell and Puka Nacua.

Last season was a total disappointment for the&nbsp;<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/los-angeles-rams" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Los Angeles Rams</a>.

Now, when Los Angeles thought they might have lost one of their top players, there could be good news. 



<h2>When will Cooper Kupp return with Rams?</h2>



Cooper Kupp confirmed he might be ready to play for the Rams in the opener of the 2023 NFL season against the Seattle Seahawks on September 10. “Yeah, I feel like I am.”







Even though Kupp thought he might have rushed things out, the truth is he is feeling much better. “I definitely felt the first two days coming back here earlier this week, just felt like you’re rushing things. You feel like your hands and feet aren’t working together.”



For the star wide receiver, repetition and practice gave him confidence to play in Week 1 at Seattle. “That’s why I’m saying like going out there Week 1 would be tough not having that opportunity to see those reps and have those reps and that kind of stuff in your back pocket and be able see those patterns. So, I feel good about what kind of path we’re on now.”



A month ago, Cooper Kupp&nbsp;left practice with a hamstring injury and, though there was no timetable at that moment, the Rams feared the star wide receiver could have been out many weeks. “I don’t plan on playing on Saturday (preseason finale). If it was a game, yeah. Game one, I’m playing.”



The&nbsp;Rams&nbsp;just couldn’t afford to lose again their best offensive player on the roster. In 2022,&nbsp;Cooper Kupp&nbsp;missed the last eight games of the season because of a high ankle sprain and that derailed any hopes of a playoff run.

<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20230720#BUS#32546"></div>


It will be a tough battle for the&nbsp;Rams&nbsp;in the NFC West where the&nbsp;<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/san-francisco-49ers" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">San Francisco 49ers</a>&nbsp;are big favorites and the&nbsp;<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/seattle-seahawks" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Seahawks</a>&nbsp;are a team on the rise with&nbsp;Geno Smith. Just a few days before the season starts, Cooper Kupp has become the biggest topic for Los Angeles. 



<h2>Cooper Kupp’s latest injury update with Rams</h2>



Last week, Cooper Kupp&nbsp;left practice with a hamstring injury and the first diagnosis hinted the star wide receiver could have been out many weeks. However, this Saturday, head coach Sean McVay had good news. 







“It’s really day-to-day. He just felt a little tweak. It was a red zone route and just felt a little tightness in his hamstring. I don’t think it’s anything to be overly concerned with, but we want to be able to be smart with him and I’m hopeful to get him back out here sooner than later.”



So, Sean McVay faced the big question regarding Kupp’s availability for the opener against the Seahawks on September 10. “He knows his body so well and he’s got a specific plan. You guys see him. He’s out here moving around. As far as exactly when he’s back, I’m definitely hopeful that by the time we at least have our competitive practices against the Raiders, he’s able to get that kind of work because I think that is important.”


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20230719#BUS#31709"></div>


However, the the Rams’ head coach won’t push him though they need a fast start in the calendar facing very tough rivals like Seattle, the 49ers and the Bengals. “We don’t want to rush it, but I think it’s kind of more of a day-to-day thing.&nbsp;It’s not something that we expect to drag on, but you never know with the soft tissue stuff.”

In 2022, the&nbsp;<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/los-angeles-rams">Los Angeles Rams</a>&nbsp;had a 5-12 record failing to defend their Super Bowl title in the&nbsp;<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/nfl">NFL</a>.&nbsp;Quarterback <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/matthew-stafford">Matthew Stafford</a>&nbsp;only played nine games because of injuries and, by the end of the year,&nbsp;Sean McVay&nbsp;didn’t know his future as head coach of the team. 



However, McVay announced he’ll stay understanding there’s a massive turnaround to be made in the franchise. Not everything is lost as the Rams still have an amazing core group of veteran stars around Stafford like Aaron Donald and Cooper Kupp.


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20230720#BUS#32546"></div>


The Rams have to make some moves considering they’re no favorites in the NFC West against the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/san-francisco-49ers">San Francisco 49ers</a> and a dark horse like the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/seattle-seahawks">Seahawks</a> led by Geno Smith. Now, their hopes might be derailed by the latest injury of their star wide receiver.



<h2>Cooper Kupp out with the Rams due to injury</h2>



Cooper Kupp&nbsp;left Tuesday’s practice with a hamstring injury and the star wide receiver could be out many weeks for the Rams. There’s still a lot of uncertainty regarding his status for the opener against the&nbsp;Seahawks&nbsp;on September 10.







On Thursday, offensive coordinator, Mike LaFleur, finally gave an update about the situation. “He’s day-to-day. He’ll be back in the right time and stuff like that. So, he is just going through the rehab process, but he’s day-to-day. He’ll be alright.”



The&nbsp;Rams&nbsp;just can’t afford to lose again their best offensive player on the roster. In 2022,&nbsp;Cooper Kupp&nbsp;missed the last eight games of the season because of a high ankle sprain and that derailed any hopes of a playoff run.



Even in this scenario, LaFleur guaranteed they won’t push his return when asked if Kupp will be ready for Week 1. “That’s a question for the medical people. I try to stay in my lane with that stuff when they tell us, ‘Hey, he’s ready, full go.’ Coop knows his body. He’s a professional. The guys working with him are professionals. They’ll get it right when the time is right.”

The injury occurred while he was running a route at training camp as explained by head coach Sean McVay. “He came up a little bit in a red zone route. Obviously, we’re much better when he’s here, and we hope he’s going to be OK. If he’s not, we’ll see what happens, but the practice had to go on.”

Shortly after the Las Vegas Raiders signed <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl/aaron-rodgers-finally-talks-about-the-davante-adams-trade-20220429-0006.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Davante Adams</a> witha mind-blowing contract, the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl/nfl-news-tua-tagovailoa-mike-mcdaniel-fire-back-at-the-dolphins-qb-haters-20220603-0022.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Miami Dolphins</a> granted <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl/nfl-news-dolphins-gm-shares-bold-take-about-tyreek-hill-20220607-0009.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Tyreek Hill</a>‘s demands to make him the highest-paid wide receiver in the league.
With a contract extension just around the corner, peopleexpect <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl/cooper-kupp-profile-age-height-weight-and-contract-20220213-0027.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Cooper Kupp</a> to follow in Adams and Hill’sfootsteps toclaim a similar kind of contract.

<h2>Cooper Kupp not getting carried away withDavante Adams, Tyrek Hill’s contracts</h2>
“No, I’m not trying to compare myself,”Kupp said, via the Los Angeles Times. “I’m not trying to say, ‘OK, well where was Tyreek at? All those guys that got deals, where were all those guys at? And I need to be higher than them in certain places.’ 
“I want this to be something we can work on together,” Kupp continued. “Something that’s great for the team, something that’s great for me and my family as well. That place exists, and it’s just getting there.”
Many people would agree that after his fantastic season <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl/The-top-5-quarterback-and-wide-receiver-duo-for-the-2022-nfl-season-20220514-0009.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Kupp deserves</a> a similar – or even better – <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl/nfl-rumors-cooper-kupp-makes-bold-admission-over-rams-contract-extension-20220606-0007.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">extension</a> to that of Adams and Hill.

Therefore, he certainly didenough to deserve the highest contract for a wide receiver. Even so, he doesn’t seem interested in how muchother wideoutsmake as long as he feels satisfied with the offer that’s on the table for him.

Cooper Kupp's real thoughts on new Rams contract after Davante Adams, Tyreek Hill's deals

Cooper Kupp's real thoughts on new Rams contract after Davante Adams, Tyreek Hill's deals - Bolavip US

Most <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl/nfl-news-tom-brady-inching-closer-to-retirement-again-20220603-0008.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">NFL players</a> don’t beat around the bush when it comes to getting paid. They <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl/aaron-rodgers-finally-talks-about-the-davante-adams-trade-20220429-0006.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">threaten to sit out</a>, demand to be traded, or do <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl/nfl-trade-rumors-deebo-samuel-and-the-best-trade-candidates-in-2022-20220503-0009.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">whatever they can</a> to make the most of the leverage they have in negotiations.
But Cooper Kupp is no ordinary NFL player. Despite being the first Triple-Crown winner since 2005 and being set to make just $14.5 million next season, he’s not holding his salary against his team.
Kupp won’t be a free agent for the next two years, but the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl/nfl-rumors-aaron-donald-and-stars-that-could-retire-now-20220603-0010.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Los Angeles Rams</a> need to sign him to a contract extension as soon as possible. Still, he doesn’t want the team’s cap situation to be affected by his new deal.
<h2>NFL News: Cooper Kupp Wants A Deal That Both For The Rams As Well</h2>
“I try to help where I can,” Kupp told The Athletic. “I don’t want to be in the dark on this thing. I also love this organization. I want to be here for a very long time, and to be doing things with these guys — not just the guys on the field, I want to be a part of this organization [in its] growth and the places I think this organization is going.”
“And so I want this to be something that makes sense for everyone,” Kupp explained.“I want them to feel good about it, and I think the best way to do that is for me to at least be involved in some capacity. It’s never going to be at the cost of anything on the football field, [but] the more communication, the better, and just be able to find a place we can all feel good.”

Kupp averaged a whopping 114.5 receiving yards per game, logging 145 receptions for 1,947 yards and 16 touchdowns. His chemistry with Matt Stafford is off the charts, and they need to keep them together for the time being.
All things considered, it’s not a matter of if Kupp will get his payday but when will it happen and how will both parties structure the contract. So, don’t sweat it, Rams fans. He’s not going anywhere.
