The Rams are reportedly hoping to receive a second-round pick in return for Kupp.<\/p>\n

Kupp has been dealing with an ankle injury since Week 2, but is expected to return to the starting lineup when the Rams take on the\u00a0Minnesota Vikings<\/a>\u00a0on “Thursday Night Football.”<\/p>\n

Through two games this season, Kupp has 18 catches for 147 yards and one touchdown.<\/p>\n

Kupp had one of the best seasons in\u00a0NFL history<\/a>\u00a0for a wide receiver during the Rams’ 2021-2022 Super Bowl winning season.<\/p>\n

He found a new level during the Rams’ playoff run, catching 33 passes for 478 yards and six touchdowns across their four playoff games.<\/p>\n

Following that season, Kupp has struggled to be on the field as he has only played in 23 of the Rams’ last 40 games.<\/p>\n

The Rams are currently 2-4 this season, and with a potential trade of Kupp, would be entering a retooling phase.<\/p>\n

The possibility of trading Kupp is not the only news involving a Rams wide receiver. The team opened the 21-day practice window for Puka Nacua, who had been on IR with a knee injury.<\/p>\n
