Report: Kupp to miss 6-8 weeks, will need Rams resurgence to return

Los Angeles Rams star receiver Cooper Kupp is expected to miss six-to-eight weeks after undergoing surgery this past week for a high ankle sprain, league sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter.

The Rams sit at 3-6, and with only eight games remaining, they reportedly will need to turn their season around for Kupp to have a shot at returning this year. The NFC West club is playing the New Orleans Saints on Sunday.

Timelines vary for recoveries from tightrope surgery, with some players recovering faster than the six-to-eight-week projection while others take longer to return to action.

Receivers Allen Robinson, Ben Skowronek, and Van Jefferson will lead the Rams' passing attack in Kupp's absence.

Kupp was named Offensive Player of the Year in 2022 after earning the receiving Triple Crown with NFL highs in catches (145), yards (1,947), and touchdowns (16).
