how long will cooper kupp be out

Cooper Kupp is currently out due to a high-ankle sprain sustained in 2024. Initially, he was expected to miss an extended period and was a candidate for injured reserve (which would have required him to miss four games), but the Rams chose not to place him on IR. The latest updates from 2024 indicated he was expected to return after the Rams' Week 6 bye, which would align with a roughly four-week absence for recovery. As of 2025, Kupp has continued to deal with injuries, particularly ankle and thigh issues over the last few seasons. His injury history has limited his playing time to no more than 12 games in a season since 2021. The most recent information from late August 2025 shows that Kupp has suffered another ankle injury early in the season and was placed on injured reserve shortly after. Recovery and return timelines are dependent on how well he heals, but prior reports suggested a chance to return within about four weeks from the injury, subject to no setbacks in practice. In summary, Cooper Kupp's most recent injury has him out for at least several weeks (around four weeks as a typical recovery window for his high-ankle sprain), but his overall availability remains uncertain due to his ongoing struggles with reoccurring lower-body injuries.
