### Rams Reunite Top Receivers for Thursday Night Football

The Los Angeles Rams are set to see their top two receivers, Cooper Kupp and Puka Nacua, join forces on the field for the first time since the season’s start. The team’s offense will get a significant boost as Kupp returns after a four-game absence due to an ankle injury. Nacua, who was recently activated from injured reserve, will also be back in action after dealing with a knee injury that kept him sidelined since Week 1.

Nacua’s journey back to the field has been challenging. He initially suffered a knee injury during training camp, which lingered throughout the preseason. After aggravating the condition just 25 snaps into the season opener, he was unable to play. Over the past week, Nacua participated in limited practices on both Tuesday and Wednesday, signalling his readiness for a comeback.

In preparation for the game against the Vikings, the Rams made some roster moves. Linebacker Troy Reeder was placed on injured reserve due to a hamstring injury, ruling him out of the game. Additionally, the team will be without offensive tackle Joseph Noteboom and wide receiver Jordan Whittington, who are sidelined with ankle and shoulder injuries, respectively.

As the Rams gear up for Thursday Night Football, the return of Kupp and Nacua offers a promising outlook for Matthew Stafford and the Rams’ offensive strategies against their opponents.
