Rams could add receiver in draft
While Kupp's position on the depth chart is secure, Los Angeles could select a wide receiver in the upcoming 2021 NFL Draft, Gary Klein of the Los Angeles Times reports.
Analysis: With the expected quarterback upgrade following the offseason acquisition of Matthew Stafford, Kupp projects to have another rock-solid fantasy showing. He's recorded 186 receptions, 2,135 yards and 13 touchdowns through 31 games over the past two years and should again be one of the most reliable fantasy receivers in 2021.

Inactive Saturday
Kupp (knee) is inactive for Saturday's divisional-round playoff game versus the Packers, Lindsey Thiry of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: With Kupp (who led the Rams with 92 catches for 974 yards in 15 games this past season) unavailable against Green Bay, look for Josh Reynolds and Van Jefferson to see added opportunities in the team's passing attack Saturday alongside Robert Woods.

Game-time decision
Kupp (knee) is considered a "true game-time decision" for Saturday's divisional-round playoff game in Green Bay, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Analysis: Schefter notes that Kupp, who didn't practice this past week, is dealing with bursitis in his knee and a call on the receiver's status for the contest isn't expected to be made until pre-game warmups in advance of Saturday's 4:35 ET kickoff. Stu Jackson of the Rams' official site previously reported that coach Sean McVay indicated Wednesday that Kupp could still suit up against Green Bay without practicing.

Listed as questionable
Kupp (knee) is listed as questionable for Saturday's playoff game in Green Bay, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.
Analysis: Kupp played through the same injury last week, catching four of nine targets for 78 yards while playing 86 percent of offensive snaps in the 30-20 win over Seattle. He appears on track to play again, with coach Sean McVay noting Wednesday that he expects the wide receiver to be ready by Sunday.

Progressing through knee injury
Rams head coach Sean McVay said Kupp is "progressing" through bursitis in his knee, and while the wide receiver may not practice this week, there's a good chance he's "ready" for Saturday's divisional-round game in Green Bay, Jourdan Rodrigue of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Kupp picked up the injury in Saturday's wild-card round win at Seattle and hasn't stepped foot on the field this week. McVay implied that Kupp may not have to practice in order to suit up Saturday, but he still has one more chance to get some work in before the Rams give him a designation for the game.

Doesn't practice Wednesday
Kupp (knee) didn't practice Wednesday, Jourdan Rodrigue of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Kupp has yet to practice this week while he recovers from knee bursitis, which he sustained during the Rams' wild-card win at Seattle last weekend. There's an expectation from the team that he'll be able to suit up for Saturday's divisional-round game in Green Bay, but he may have to do so without any practice reps. Thursday's injury report will reveal whether or not Kupp fit in some on-field work this week.

No activity Tuesday
Kupp (knee) was listed as a non-participant on Tuesday's estimated injury report.
Analysis: Kupp limped off the field in the fourth quarter of this past Saturday's wild-card win at Seattle and didn't return. Initially, he was believed to have suffered a bone bruise in his knee, but coach Sean McVay clarified the injury Sunday, calling it bursitis, per Stu Jackson of the Rams' official site. McVay expects Kupp to suit up for Saturday's divisional-round game in Green Bay, but he likely will want to see the wide receiver on the field in some capacity before week's end.

Expected to play
Kupp (knee) has bursitis in his knee but is expected to play in the NFC divisional round against the Packers, per coach Sean McVay, Stu Jackson of the Rams' official site reports.
Analysis: Kupp is listed as day-to-day, but it looks like Rams fans can breathe a sigh of relief after watching the standout slot receiver exit late in Saturday's win over the Seahawks. While his reps in practice might be capped this week, Kupp has avoided a serious knee injury.

Encouraging injury news
Kupp is expected to be fine after suffering a knee contusion during Saturday's wild-card win over the Seahawks, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: It was initially believed to be a non-contact injury, so this is a relief for the Rams as they prepare for the NFC divisional round. While it's not a serious injury, the Rams likely will monitor Kupp closely during the practice week. Kupp finished Saturday's game with four receptions for 78 yards.

Limps off late
Kupp went to the locker room late in the fourth quarter of Saturday's wild-card game against the Seahawks, Jourdan Rodrigue of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: It's unclear exactly what Kupp is dealing with, but it's apparently a non-contact injury. Prior to his exit, Kupp was leading the Rams with 78 yards on four receptions. The Rams should close out this game and move onto the NFC divisional round, but Kupp's status moving forward is uncertain.

Returns from COVID list
The Rams activated Kupp (illness) from the reserve/COVID-19 list Wednesday, Jourdan Rodrigue of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Kupp was forced to miss the Rams' regular-season finale against the Cardinals after testing positive for COVID-19, but he'll be available for Saturday's wild-card game in Seattle. The Rams are still working out who will be throwing passes to Kupp and the team's other receivers in the playoff opener, as Jared Goff (thumb) hasn't been fully cleared following his recent surgery. If Goff can't go against Seattle, John Wolford would draw a second straight start under center.

Expected to practice Wednesday
Head coach Sean McVay said Tuesday that Kupp is expected to be activated from the reserve/COVID-19 list Wednesday.
Analysis: Barring a setback, Kupp will participate in Wednesday's practice in preparation for Saturday's wild-card game against the Seahawks. It remains unclear whether quarterback Jared Goff (thumb) will be back in the fold or if John Wolford will start again. Goff has been throwing at practice and is considered a game-time decision.

Confirmed as out for Week 17
Rams head coach Sean McVay confirmed Kupp (illness) wouldn't be activated from the reserve/COVID-19 list ahead of Sunday's game against the Cardinals, Gary Klein of the Los Angeles Times reports.
Analysis: After he was revealed to have tested positive for COVID-19 earlier this week, Kupp was facing an uphill battle to clear all health-related protocols ahead of the regular-season finale. As a result, the Rams' decision to officially rule Kupp out for the contest comes as little surprise, and it now sets Van Jefferson up to fill a starting role at receiver alongside Robert Woods and Josh Reynolds. The Rams will hope that Kupp can gain clearance in time for a potential wild-card playoff game Jan. 9…read more

Unlikely to play Week 17
Rams head coach Sean McVay said Wednesday that Kupp (illness) is "probably not likely to be available" Week 17 against the Cardinals, Lindsey Thiry of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: The Rams placed Kupp on the reserve/COVID-19 list Tuesday, and Ian Rapoport of NFL Network revealed Wednesday that the move was made because the wide receiver tested positive for the virus. League protocols ensure Kupp won't be able to recover in time for a key Week 17 matchup, one that will help in determining the team's postseason fate. Los Angeles will also be without Jared Goff (thumb) on Sunday, meaning John Wolford will be throwing passes to Robert Woods, Josh Reynolds and Van Jefferson.

Not in line to play Sunday
Kupp, who was placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list Tuesday, won't be available for Sunday's game against the Cardinals, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: Per Rapoport, Kupp's placement on the list was the result of a positive test, so he won't have sufficient time to make a full recovery from the virus and gain clearance for the weekend. With starting quarterback Jared Goff (thumb) also sidelined, John Wolford will step in under center, throwing passes to a wideout corps headlined Robert Woods, Josh Reynolds and Van Jefferson.

Goes on COVID-19 list
The Rams placed Kupp (undisclosed) on the reserve/COVID-19 list Tuesday, Stu Jackson of the team's official site reports.
Analysis: Jackson noted that the Rams are prohibited by league rules from revealing whether a player tested positive for COVID-19 or merely was a close contact of someone who tested positive. In any case, Kupp's status for Sunday's key matchup against the Cardinals now is in question.

Makes eight catches vs. Seahawks
Kupp caught eight of nine targets for 66 yards during Sunday's 20-9 loss to the Seahawks.
Analysis: Kupp led the team in targets and receiving yards, though his average of 8.3 yards per catch left a lot to be desired. While the yardage output was actually a notable improvement from the last two games, during which Kupp totaled 72 yards on 10 catches, his numbers are clearly suffering as Jared Goff (thumb) continues to struggle under center. He has an inviting matchup with the Cardinals waiting for him next Sunday, but his recent form suggests he could fail to take full advantage, especially…read more

Grounded by Jets
Kupp caught all five of his targets for 39 yards during Sunday's 23-20 loss to the Jets.
Analysis: It's been an up-and-down campaign for Kupp. He's failed to top 50 receiving yards in three of the past four games and also only gone over the century mark three times all year. Additionally, after 10 touchdown receptions last season, the fourth-year wideout has only three scores in 2020. The Rams aren't airing it out as often, and their improved defense and running game have limited Kupp's role in the offense. It's also worth noting that he was held to just five catches for 50 yards during Los…read more

Boosts performance with TD
Kupp brought in all five targets for 33 yards and a touchdown in the Rams' 24-3 win over the Patriots on Thursday.
Analysis: Jared Goff put the ball up just 25 times and averaged 5.5 yards per attempt, so no Rams pass catcher enjoyed a fruitful night on the stat sheet. However, Kupp was able to give his overall fantasy production a nice boost with a two-yard touchdown grab late in the third quarter that closed out the scoring on the night for either club. The trip to the end zone was Kupp's first since Week 4 against the Giants, while his yardage tally qualified as his sparsest since a Sunday night loss to the 49ers…read more

Eight grabs in Sunday's win
Kupp caught eight of nine targets for 73 yards in Sunday's 38-28 win over the Cardinals.
Analysis: While Robert Woods paced the Rams in receptions, targets and yards, Kupp wasn't far behind him in production as he bounced back from a quiet performance against the Niners. Kupp may have trouble making an impact in Week 14 against a surging Patriots defense that just shut out the Chargers.

Makes two catches vs. 49ers
Kupp caught two of five targets for 41 yards during Sunday's 23-20 loss to the 49ers.
Analysis: Kupp was held in check for most of the game and did little outside of shaking loose for a 33-yard gain in the third quarter. He gashed the talented Buccaneers defense for a season-high 145 yards in his prior outing, so his inability to make a notable impact in this one was likely a bit of a surprise for many fantasy managers. Kupp will look to bounce back next Sunday against a Cardinals team he touched up for 164 yards and two touchdowns over two meetings last season.

Goes for 145 yards in win
Kupp caught 11 of 13 targets for 145 yards in Monday night's 27-24 win over the Buccaneers.
Analysis: Kupp was involved early and often during the first half, hauling in nine passes for over 100 yards, including a couple long gains running after the catch. The wideout then went for 19 yards on a key third down to set up the Rams' game-winning field goal in the fourth quarter. Overall, Kupp matched his season high in receptions while posting a new best mark for the campaign in yards. That came despite running mate Robert Woods catching 12 of 15 targets for 130 yards and a touchdown, evidencing…read more

Touchdown drought up to five games
Kupp caught five of seven targets for 50 yards during Sunday's 23-16 win over Seattle.
Analysis: Make it five consecutive games without a touchdown for Kupp, and with only two on the season, the fourth-year receiver is considerably trailing last year's 10-score showing. Additionally, he has just seven receptions of 20-plus yards, which again are significantly behind his 21 from the 2019 campaign. With Los Angeles quarterback Jared Goff spreading the ball around and head coach Sean McVay's commitment to the running game, it could prove difficult for Kupp to close the gap on last year's…read more

Cleared to face Seattle
Kupp (oblique) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against Seattle, Gregg Bell of The Tacoma News Tribune reports.
Analysis: Following a Week 9 bye, Kupp was a limited practice participant Wednesday and Thursday before upgrading to a full session Friday. He should be ready for his usual workload come Sunday, facing a Seahawks defense that's repeatedly been torched by quarterbacks and wide receivers.

Limited again
Kupp (oblique) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice, Curtis Crabtree of Sports Radio 950 KJR Seattle reports.
Analysis: Coach Sean McVay has expressed confidence that Kupp will be available against the Seahawks on Sunday, but it's at least somewhat concerning to see the 27-year-old log back-to-back limited practices coming off a bye. He'll get one more opportunity to upgrade to full practice activity before the Rams designate him with an official injury tag.

Limited at practice
Kupp (wrist) will be a limited practice participant Wednesday, but head coach Sean McVay believes the wide receiver is "on track to play" Sunday versus the Seahawks, Stu Jackson of the Rams' official site reports.
Analysis: Kupp is slated to partake in individual drills before sitting out the team portion of Wednesday's session. Ideally, he'll build up his reps as the week proceeds, but there's also no guarantee he'll log a full practice before the Rams release their final Week 10 injury report Friday. As such, Kupp will need to be monitored closely over the next few days.

Massive workload in loss
Kupp brought in 11 of 21 targets for 110 yards in the Rams' 28-17 loss to the Dolphins on Sunday.
Analysis: Kupp's absurdly high target count was the direct result of a game script that saw the Rams surprisingly down by multiple touchdowns before halftime. The fourth-year wideout's catch and yardage tallies were also both game- and season-high figures, though Kupp's touchdown-less streak extended to four contests. He'll look to get in the end zone in a key Week 10 NFC West battle against the Seahawks following a Week 9 bye.

Catches six passes in win
Kupp caught all six of his targets for 43 yards in Monday night's 24-10 win over the Bears. He also rushed once for 16 yards.
Analysis: Kupp helped the Rams move the sticks while catching everything thrown his way. Although he also got involved in the running game Monday, Kupp has now totaled just 54 receiving yards in his last two games. Considering he averaged over 80 yards while scoring twice in the four games prior, Kupp's most recent form has been somewhat underwhelming, but with no miscues Monday he's at least moving in the right direction ahead of Week 8's matchup with the Dolphins.

Turns in dud on SNF
Kupp caught just three of nine targets for 11 yards in Sunday's 24-16 loss to the 49ers.
Analysis: The Rams' aerial attack faltered as a whole in what should have been a plus matchup, but Kupp's performance (or lack thereof) stood out the most from a fantasy perspective. The usually sure-handed slot extraordinaire dropped a would-be touchdown that could have salvaged his meager stat line. Despite Kupp's struggles, he still finished second on the team in targets, so managers may be best off remaining confident and simply writing this performance off as a dud. The 27-year-old will look to get…read more

Solid in Week 5 win
Kupp secured five of eight targets for 66 yards and returned four punts for 20 yards in the Rams' 30-10 win over the Washington Football Team on Sunday.
Analysis: Kupp gave his fantasy day a boost with a 49-yard grab, and he paced the Rams pass catchers in receptions overall. The fourth-year pro has seen between six and 10 targets in the last four games, and although Sunday saw his two-game streak with a touchdown snapped, Kupp did garner at least five receptions for the fourth consecutive contest. He'll look to get back over the century mark for the second time on the campaign at the expense of the division-rival 49ers in a Week 6 Sunday night matchup.

Leading Rams receiver in win
Kupp caught five of seven targets for 69 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 17-9 win over the Giants.
Analysis: Most of that production came on a 55-yard catch-and-run in the fourth quarter as Kupp split the Giants' secondary for the final score of the day, and Jared Goff's only completion of longer than 20 yards. Kupp has found the end zone in consecutive games, and he'll look to continue that streak in Week 5 against a Washington defense that just had trouble containing Marquise Brown.

Plays well in high-scoring loss
Kupp caught nine of 10 targets for 107 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 35-32 loss to Buffalo.
Analysis: Kupp caught a 16-yard touchdown during Los Angeles' run of 29 unanswered points after falling behind 28-3. Unfortunately for the Rams, Buffalo responded with a game-winning touchdown drive aided by a controversial pass interference penalty to hand Los Angeles its first loss of the season. The slot receiver has totaled triple-digit scrimmage yards in consecutive games, and Kupp will have a great opportunity to stretch that streak to three in Week 4 against the Giants.

Goes for 100 yards in win
Kupp brought in five of six targets for 81 yards, adding two carries for 19 yards in the Rams' 37-19 win over the Eagles on Sunday.
Analysis: Kupp improved on his 40-yard performance from Week 1, going for 100 total yards and leading the team in targets, receptions and receiving yards in the process. He still hasn't found the end zone in 2020, but Kupp should continue to see a healthy amount of targets moving forward as one of the top options in the Rams' passing attack. His upside may be diminished compared to 2019, as Jared Goff is on pace for far fewer than the 626 passes he attempted a year ago.

Quiet 2020 debut
Kupp had four catches (five targets) for 40 yards in Sunday's 20-17 win over the Cowboys.
Analysis: Fresh off of a three-year, $48 million extension, Kupp was unable to produce numbers indicative of his huge bump in salary. The 27-year-old's lack of production was due in large part to a run-heavy game plan (40 carries to just 20 pass attempts) that focused on attacking the soft interior of Dallas defense. The strategy paid off for the Rams, but Kupp owners in fantasy were left with a lackluster final line. There's no reason to overreact, as Kupp remains one of Jared Goff's top receiving…read more

Locks in $48 million extension
Kupp signed a three-year, $48 million extension with the Rams on Saturday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: Kupp made significant movement on a possible contract extension earlier this week after the team had finalized a deal with cornerback Jalen Ramsey. The 27-year-old becomes the first of a deep 2017 wide receiver class to receive an extension with Saturday's news likely setting the mark for players such as Chris Godwin, JuJu Smith-Schuster and Kenny Golladay and their respective upcoming deals.

Should be fine for Week 1
Kupp is dealing with a "muscle strain on the side of the lower part of his leg right above the foot," Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: There was previous speculation that Kupp had an ankle sprain, but that report was refuted by coach Sean McVay, who relayed that the wideout had some soreness in his leg. Rapoport's report adds a bit of context to that, but more importantly notes that Kupp should be fine for the Rams' season opener.

Analysis: After Kupp left Saturday's practice with an injury, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reported that the issue was a low-ankle sprain. Kupp underwent the requisite testing, including X-rays, and a sprain has been ruled out as the issue. While he may be held of practice in the short term, there doesn't seem to be much worry about his status for Week 1 versus the Cowboys.

Sprains ankle
Kupp is dealing with a low-ankle sprain but isn't believed to be in any danger of missing Week 1, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: There was speculation of a problem after Kupp was removed from Saturday's scrimmage, but coach Sean McVay claims the wide receiver wasn't injured. It turns out Kupp did indeed suffer an injury, just not an especially serious one.

Coach says he's healthy
Updating a previous report, Kupp's early exit from Saturday's practice was precautionary and he's not dealing with any injuries, per coach Sean McVay, Jourdan Rodrigue of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Kupp fans can exhale after some nervous moments, as the coach's post-practice press conference revealed that the slot receiver is healthy. Prior to exiting the practice, Kupp had been serving as the holder for the kicking competition, so the coaching staff likely decided to give him the day off rather than put him at any risk in the unfamiliar role.

Kupp (undisclsoed) left Saturday's practice in the first half and was not on the sidelines with his teammates to start the second half, Jourdan Rodrigue of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: It's unclear what forced Kupp to exit, but hopefully his absence is just for precautionary reasons. Prior to leaving Saturday, Kupp had been serving as the holder for the Rams' kicking competition, as punter Johnny Hekker is away from the team for the birth of his second child.

Entering final year of rookie deal
Kupp is entering the final season of his rookie contract and is looking to sign a long-term extension with the Rams, Lindsey Thiry of ESPN reports.
Analysis: While there was a degree of inconsistency from Kupp at midseason last year, he finished the campaign with a touchdown in each of the past five games to boost his stat line to an impressive 94 receptions for 1,161 yards and 10 scores. Already a go-to option in the Los Angeles passing attack, the fourth-year receiver has the potential to be even more involved in the offense with Brandin Cooks now in Houston. Not only is the thorough chemistry between Kupp and quarterback Jared Goff an added…read more

Scores TD for fifth straight game
Kupp corralled seven of 10 targets for 99 receiving yards and a touchdown during Sunday's 31-24 win against Arizona.
Analysis: Those who stuck with Kupp through a third-quarter slump benefited during the fantasy postseason, as the 26-year-old wideout scored in five consecutive games Weeks 13 through 17 after averaging three catches for 29 yards per game with zero TDs between Weeks 10 and 12. The third-year man out of Eastern Washington rebounded spectacularly from a torn ACL that cost him half of the 2018 campaign, obliterating previous personal bests by compiling 94 receptions for 1,161 yards while also reaching the…read more

Salvages line with touchdown
Kupp secured all four targets for 31 yards and a touchdown in the Rams' 34-31 loss to the 49ers on Saturday.
Analysis: Kupp ultimately generated his third straight sub-50-yard effort, but his 22-yard touchdown grab in the third quarter on a perfectly executed crossing pattern marked his fourth straight game with a receiving score. The 26-year-old's target share has uncharacteristically dwindled over the last four games, with Kupp averaging a modest five looks per contest in that span. However, he'll look to close out his career-best campaign on a strong note versus the vulnerable Cardinals secondary Week 17.

Grabs late TD in loss
Kupp caught all six of his targets for 41 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 44-21 loss to the Cowboys.
Analysis: The receiver salvaged his fantasy line with a fourth-quarter score after the game was far out of reach. Kupp has now hit pay dirt in three straight games, snagging all 16 of his targets for 151 yards over that stretch, and he'll try to continue his late-season surge next Saturday on the road against the 49ers.

Scores despite low usage
Kupp had four catches (four targets) for 45 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 28-12 win over the Seahawks. He also threw an incomplete pass on a trick play.
Analysis: Kupp saw his targets drop to four after watching them go from 10 to six a week ago. The Rams stated that they are going to return to featuring star running back Todd Gurley in order to save their season down the stretch, which could explain the recent dip in Kupp's offensive looks. The 26-year-old remains Jared Goff's favorite option, especially in the red zone -- Kupp had two more red-zone targets Sunday -- which keeps his value afloat even in contests in which he doesn't see double-digit…read more

Finds end zone
Kupp hauled in all six of his targets for 65 yards and a touchdown in the team's Week 13 win over the Cardinals.
Analysis: Kupp was out-targeted by both Robert Woods and Tyler Higbee, but he managed a strong performance due to his efficiency. His performance was highlighted by a 10-yard touchdown, which forced him to tightrope on the sideline to get both feet inbounds. It was a bounce-back performance for Kupp, who had failed to top 55 yards or find the end zone in each of his last three contests. Kupp will take on the Seahawks in Week 14 and look to replicate his Week 5 performance, when he recorded nine…read more

Bottled up despite 10 targets
Kupp caught six of 10 targets for 35 yards in Monday night's 45-6 loss to the Ravens.
Analysis: Kupp led the Rams in looks from quarterback Jared Goff, but found next to no room to operate. To make matters worse, his final target bounced off his hands for a Baltimore interception. After a 220-yard outburst in Week 8, Kupp has combined for just 88 yards in three games since, putting him in a serious slump ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Cardinals.

Just three targets Sunday
Kupp (illness) corralled all three of his targets for 53 yards in Sunday's 17-7 win over the Bears.
Analysis: Kupp was dealing with a stomach bug all week, but it wasn't enough to keep the wideout from suiting up in an important primetime contest. The Rams leaned heavily on Todd Gurley and its rushing attack in order to slow down the Bears' vaunted pass rush, which caused Jared Goff and company to finish with poor fantasy numbers all around. Kupp produced well considering he only received a season-low three targets, but that is now two consecutive fantasy clunkers (zero catches last week) coming off…read more

Free of injury designation
Kupp (illness) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Bears.
Analysis: Kupp missed Friday's practice with a stomach bug, but he apparently isn't in any danger of missing the game. He'll face a tough Chicago defense after last week's zero-catch debacle in Pittsburgh.

Dealing with stomach bug
Kupp missed Friday's practice due to a stomach illness, but he's expected to be fine for Sunday's game against Chicago, Lindsey Thiry of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: It's unclear if the Rams view the ailment as enough of a concern to list Kupp as questionable on their final injury report. The wide receiver is looking to bounce back from last week's goose egg against the Steelers, but he'll be tasked with trying to get open against another tough defense Sunday night.

Shut down by Steelers
Kupp failed to catch any of his four targets in Sunday's 17-12 loss to the Steelers.
Analysis: Jared Goff didn't have much success overall, but seeing Kupp get completely shut out is a shocker, especially with the Rams shifting to short, quick passes in the second half after center Brian Allen (knee) exited the game. It's only the second time in his career Kupp has gone without a catch, but he'll look to rebound next week against the Bears.
