Rams receiver Cooper Kupp is set to return for Thursday night’s game against the Vikings. But will he have a full workload? That’s still to be determined, according to head coach Sean McVay.

McVay: “That’ll be something that as we’re putting it together and really diving into it, we’ll have a better feel for, but definitely excited to have him back."

Kupp has not played since suffering an ankle injury in Week 2.

Good teams don’t lose two in a row. 

Need to show that we’re a good team.

They did take the Lions to OT in week 1 (Rams were much healthier then) and did beat the 49ers (who aren't who we thought they were). Their only other win was against a pretty punch less Raiders team yesterday.

Short week traveling west scares me a touch, but we're the better football team and need to handle our business accordingly.

KO/FLO will be motivated to turn it around right now.

The Vikings didn’t practice on Monday, but they did release an injury report because they are playing the Rams on Thursday night.

According to the team, running back Aaron Jones (hamstring) would have been a limited participant in an actual workout. Jones was injured in Week Five, but recovered over the bye week and returned to play against the Lions on Sunday. Tight end T.J. Hockenson (knee) is also listed as limited. The team has until the end of the week to activate him from the physically unable to perform list.

Linebacker Blake Cashman (toe) is the only player that would have missed practice entirely. Cornerback Akayleb Evans (hip), linebacker Patrick Jones (shoulder), tight end Josh Oliver (wrist), and defensive lineman Harrison Phillips (shoulder) were listed as limited, while safety Theo Jackson (hand) and guard Dalton Risner (back) were listed as full participants.

Is one of them going to be playing TE?  Otherwise, they aren't going up against one another.  😉

KOC revenge game

I can't imagine Cashman is back yet.

Going into the Lions game, I was worried about this one because of the short turn around but hopefully this helps the team move on from a tough loss quickly.

agreed he'll be out again vs the Rams

 

I wish we knew when this turf toe injury happened. assuming Cashman returns against the Colts he won't have played in a game for a full month.

This was such a fun game. Kirk and Goff combined for 900 yards and 8 TDs.
