Cooper Kupp will play vs. Eagles on Sunday, Joe Noteboom ruled out
Cooper Kupp will make his season debut on Sunday when the Rams host the Eagles, as long as he doesn’t have any setbacks between now and kickoff. That’s what Sean McVay told reporters on Friday, confirming that Kupp will play this weekend after missing the first four games.
“Yeah, unless something different happens in the next 48 hours,” McVay said.
McVay is excited to get Kupp back from his hamstring injury, which has kept the receiver sidelined for a while now after initially suffering it back in August. He reinjured it just before the season began and was placed on injured reserve prior to Week 1.

In addition to Kupp being activated this weekend, the Rams will also do the same with rookie edge rusher Ochaun Mathis, McVay said. He’ll be available for the first time this season, too.
Now for the bad news: Joe Noteboom has been ruled out with a groin injury and Alaric Jackson will once again be a game-time decision. Warren McClendon Jr. would be the left tackle if Jackson can’t play.
