Kupp’s initial X-rays were negative so more likely looking at a high ankle sprain instead of serious fracture or break (and subsequent multi-month recovery into offseason and spring workouts). Kupp will miss time; what is still being determined is how much.
It will be important to see how Rams handle this. Shelton was back from high ankle after 5 weeks as OL. Rams have 8 games left. Kupp needs to heal, but if you totally shut him down now you’re telling rest of team how you feel about postseason chances…in W11.
Well, Kupp is having surgery, but they say out 4 weeks.
Rams’ WR Cooper Kupp is scheduled to undergo ankle surgery Wednesday and the team is placing him on IR, per HC Sean McVay. Kupp is out a minimum of four weeks and with the way the Rams season is going, could be longer.
