Cooper Kupp is expected to return to play around Week 7 of the 2024 NFL season, according to Los Angeles Rams head coach Sean McVay. This Week 7 target is considered optimistic and not guaranteed, as Kupp has been recovering from an ankle injury sustained in Week 2 of the season. The Rams were hopeful he could return for their October 20 game against the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 7 after the team's bye week, but his status remains tentative depending on his rehabilitation progress.
Regarding the 2025 season, Cooper Kupp signed with the Seattle Seahawks after being released by the Rams. His first game returning to Los Angeles to face the Rams is scheduled for Week 11 of the 2025 NFL season at SoFi Stadium. He will also face the Rams again away in Week 16.
In summary:
- Expected return from 2024 ankle injury: Around Week 7 (October 2024), conditional on recovery.
- 2025 season: Plays for Seattle Seahawks; first return game to Los Angeles vs Rams in Week 11 of 2025.
This gives a clear timeframe for his immediate injury return and his future game schedule against his old team.
