Rams vs. Texans: Cooper Kupp makes impressive throw during warmups

Star WR Cooper Kupp showed off his arm during warmups ahead of the #Rams’ preseason tilt against the #Texans on Saturday.

The Los Angeles Rams and Houston Texans are getting ready for their final preseason exhibition this afternoon, and while starters are expected to ride the bench to minimize the chance of injuries, star wide receiver Cooper Kupp decided to steal the show during warmups.

Usually known for his ability to make incredible catches, Kupp decided to show off his throwing skills ahead of kickoff, launching a flat-footed 50-yard throw that may give Sean McVay some ideas for trick plays.

Take a look at Kupp’s impressive throw below, in this video that was posted to the NFL’s official Twitter account before the game:

Though Los Angeles is secure in its quarterback situation, the veteran receiver’s amazing throwing ability might be an asset to be utilized this season.

Kupp isn’t likely to see the field against Houston but is expected to return to action on September 8 when the Rams face the Detroit Lions in Week 1.

 

WATCH: Worthy makes insane grab at training camp

While the defending champion Kansas City Chiefs prepare for their 2024 campaign there has been no shortage of highlights from their intense training camp in St. Joseph.

Fan-favorite rookie wide receiver Xavier Worthy has made numerous appearances in those highlights, showing himself as a valuable addition to the Chiefs’ receiving corps and creating high expectations for his contributions to the new-look offense as they pursue another Super Bowl attempt in a dynasty of victory.

Kansas City Chiefs fans are looking ahead to the exhibition match against the Detroit Lions this Saturday when Worthy is expected to return to the field, and the new-look offense will ideally be firing on all cylinders back at Arrowhead Stadium.

If the team can translate the explosive training camp highlights into real-world competition performance, the Kansas City Chiefs will certainly be worth watching in 2024.

WATCH: Patrick Mahomes warms up ahead of Chiefs’ tilt vs. Jaguars

Check out this video of Patrick Mahomes warming up before the #Chiefs’ preseason matchup against the #Jaguars on Saturday night.

The Kansas City Chiefs are set to take the field in their first exhibition matchup of the preseason against the Jacksonville Jaguars.

Though the results of the game won’t mean anything in the AFC standings, both teams are prepared to play for pride as they evaluate some of the unheralded talent on their depth charts.

Star quarterback Patrick Mahomes made an early impression on fans at EverBank Stadium in Jacksonville before kickoff, launching footballs deep downfield during warmups.

Check out this video of Mahomes throwing bombs to Kansas City’s trainers in Duval County before the Chiefs’ tilt against the Jaguars:

Mahomes is only expected to play a few snaps during Saturday night’s matchup but will be ready to coach up his teammates from the sideline throughout the game.

Expect to see him encourage Carson Wentz, Chris Oladokun, and Ian Book to push the ball downfield as Kansas City evaluates its new receivers against Jacksonville.

WATCH: Carson Wentz shows off funky hip stretch at Chiefs training camp

#Chiefs QB Carson Wentz was seen stretching his hips in a unique way ahead of Kansas City’s training camp practice on Thursday.

Professional athletes are constantly under the microscope of their fans, and Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Carson Wentz is no exception.

While warming up for a practice session on Thursday at Chiefs training camp, Wentz was preparing for drills with a unique stretching routine that may soon catch on with other signal-callers on Kansas City’s roster.

In a video that was posted to Twitter by KC Sports Network, Wentz could be seen near the sideline of a practice field at Missouri Western State University, gyrating his hips and torso in an exercise that looked more like a dance than a workout:

Though Wentz isn’t the only quarterback in the NFL who does quirky aerobics to get his body ready for action, this particular exercise seems destined to become a fan favorite in Chiefs Kingdom due to its comedic appeal.

Stay tuned to Kansas City’s remaining training camp practices and preseason games to see if the unusual stretch is caught on camera again.

WATCH: Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes warms up ahead of kickoff vs. Bills

#Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes was seen warming up in the snow ahead of Kansas City’s playoff matchup against the #Bills.

The Kansas City Chiefs are getting set for their matchup against the Buffalo Bills in the divisional round of the AFC playoffs on Sunday evening. The highly-anticipated tilt is expected to be one of the best games on this weekend’s schedule and will decide which team has to travel to the Old Line State to face the Baltimore Ravens in the AFC Championship Game next week.

The NFL’s reigning MVP, quarterback Patrick Mahomes, was seen warming up for Kansas City’s consequential matchup against Buffalo before kickoff, throwing passes in the snow as he prepared for action in primetime.

While the forecast in Orchard Park, New York isn’t calling for a significant amount of precipitation, the weather conditions could be something to watch if snow starts to creep in at game time.

Fans should expect the Chiefs’ decorated quarterback to put on a show against Buffalo’s defense as Kansas City endeavors to reach its sixth-consecutive AFC Championship Game.

WATCH: Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes warms up before snowy ‘SNF’ matchup vs. Packers

Patrick Mahomes was seen warming up in the snow ahead of the #Chiefs’ Week 13 matchup against the #Packers on “Sunday Night Football”.

The Kansas City Chiefs are just hours away from taking the field against the Green Bay Packers in a highly anticipated Sunday Night Football matchup in Week 13.

Kansas City enters the game as the favorite, but in snowy conditions at Lambeau Field in Green Bay, a Packers upset isn’t entirely out of the question.

Reigning MVP quarterback Patrick Mahomes was seen warming up his arm as snowflakes fell around him in a video posted by the NFL’s official Twitter account.

Mahomes is no stranger to snow games and may be primed for an exceptionally special performance against Green Bay at one of the league’s most iconic venues.

Kansas City needs a win to maintain its spot in the AFC playoff standings. The Chiefs stand to lose control over their destiny if they can’t handle business tonight in Eastern Wisconsin, so Mahomes and his supporting cast on Andy Reid’s offense will need to lock in as they prepare for less-than-ideal field conditions.

LOOK: Chiefs RB Jerick McKinnon sports new hairstyle for matchup vs. Lions

Jerick McKinnon showed off his bold new hairstyle ahead of the #Chiefs’ matchup against the #Lions on Thursday night.

Kansas City Chiefs running back Jerick McKinnon has quickly become a fan-favorite in his relatively brief career with the team, and his personality is the stuff of legend.

His quick wit, charming personality, and agreeable nature have made him a beloved member of Chiefs Kingdom. Fans got another reason to dote on the speedy rusher on Thursday evening when he showed off his new hairstyle ahead of Kansas City’s matchup against the Detroit Lions.

McKinnon’s new blond look may take some time for fans to get used to, but when he puts his helmet on nobody will be able to tell the difference.

Confidence is key for players in the NFL, and McKinnon certainly seemed to be comfortable with his new hairdo in the clip that the Chiefs shared on Twitter. Now, he will need to make that confidence translate to the field, especially in the passing game as Kansas City is set to take on the Lions without star tight end Travis Kelce.

WATCH: Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes warms up, throws bomb ahead of kickoff vs. Lions

Patrick Mahomes casually uncorked an otherworldly throw in his warmups ahead of the #Chiefs’ Week 1 kickoff against the #Lions.

Patrick Mahomes will have to carry the Kansas City Chiefs on his back against the upstart Detroit Lions on Thursday night, and judging by a video of his warmups at Arrowhead Stadium, the reigning MVP looks to be up to the task.

Mahomes took the field to loosen his arm ahead of Kansas City’s kickoff on Thursday night and was seen throwing a ball a country mile with seemingly no effort.

If this clip is any indication, Mahomes should be expected to be back to form as soon as he takes the field against Detroit. He didn’t get much run in the preseason, so after more than a month of waiting between training camp and Thursday night, fans will finally get their first glimpse of the NFL’s preeminent quarterback in real game action.

If he can find receivers Marquez Valdes-Scantling, Rashee Rice, Skyy Moore, and Justyn Ross with a pass like the one he threw in warmups, Kansas City should fare well against the Lions in this Week 1 matchup.
