THOUSAND OAKS, Calif. (AP) — Receiver Cooper Kupp is expected to make his season debut for the Los Angeles Rams against Philadelphia on Sunday.Coach Sean McVay said Friday that Kupp will be activated from injured reserve and will play at SoFi Stadium “unless something different happens in the next 48 hours.”Kupp returned to practice this week with the Rams (2-2) after missing the first month of the regular season with a hamstring injury.

Just having his presence out there is definitely a boost.”Kupp hasn’t played since Week 10 in mid-November 2022. He missed the final eight games of last season ...
