Look: Cooper Kupp is back at Rams OTAs

Cooper Kupp is back with the Rams for OTAs after taking some planned time with his family

Cooper Kupp wasn’t in attendance for the start of Rams OTAs in May, though his absence was expected. Sean McVay told reporters last month that Kupp and Aaron Donald both had “family stuff that they’re taking care of,” which the team knew about “for a long time.” In other words, their absences from these voluntary workouts were completely excused, with Kupp expecting the birth of his third child.

This week, Kupp returned to the team’s facility and was present for Tuesday’s session. He went through some individual work on the side as he continues to recover from an ankle injury suffered last season.

The Rams are going to take it slow with their star receiver, not rushing him back from injury – especially this early in the offseason. The primary goal is for him to be ready for training camp and eventually Week 1, and all indications are he’ll be fully healthy for both.

Kupp, along with Donald and Matthew Stafford, is one of the Rams’ most important players in 2023 so having him on the field for all 17 regular-season games is essential to their success.
