In a setback for the Los Angeles Rams, star wide receiver Cooper Kupp has been sidelined with an injury, further adding to the team's list of players dealing with ailments. Kupp, who has been in top form this season after battling injuries in recent years, sustained the injury during Sunday's game after recording four receptions.

Kupp's absence comes at a critical time for the Rams, as he has undoubtedly been one of the NFL's most productive players when healthy. In the remarkable 2021 season, Kupp claimed the coveted "triple crown" title by leading the league in receptions (145), yards (1,947), and touchdown catches (16). Adding to his accolades, he played a pivotal role in securing the Rams' Super Bowl victory over the Cincinnati Bengals, earning himself the MVP honor.

Unfortunately, Kupp's injury is not an isolated incident for the Rams. The team currently has several key players sidelined, including tight end Tyler Higbee (ankle), offensive tackles Joe Noteboom (ankle) and KT Leveston (ankle), offensive lineman Conor McDermott (undisclosed), guards Steve Avila (knee) and Jonah Jackson (shoulder), defensive lineman Larrell Murchison (arm), cornerbacks Darious Williams (hamstring) and Derion Kendrick (knee), as well as safety John Johnson III (shoulder).

With both Kupp and fellow wide receiver newcomer Peter Nacua out, the Rams' receiving corps will now rely on the abilities of Tyler Johnson, Demarcus Robinson, Tutu Atwell, and Jordan Whittington. Knowing the importance of replenishing their wide receiver depth, the Rams are actively seeking outside help ahead of their Week 3 matchup against division rivals, the San Francisco 49ers.

As the Rams aim to maintain their impressive start to the season, the availability of key players, particularly Cooper Kupp, will undoubtedly be closely monitored. With the team's sights set on clinching another Super Bowl title, the Rams are leaving no stone unturned in their pursuit of adding reinforcements to their receiving corps.
