Cooper Kupp to Undergo Further Tests After Being Carted off with Knee Injury

The Los Angeles Rams' high-powered offense took a temporary hit during Sunday's game against the Denver Broncos, as Rams receiver Cooper Kupp suffered a knee injury.

Broncos safety Darian Stewart injured Kupp with a horse-collar tackle midway through the second quarter. Mike Klis of 9News noted Kupp was carted off the field and couldn't put any weight on his left leg. Somehow, he made his return in the second half.

After the game, Kupp wasn't sure of the severity of the injury and will undergo further testing, according to ESPN's Lindsey Thiry.

Kupp did not haul in a catch on one target, finishing with just one rush for 12 yards for the game.

Kupp has been a force for the Rams in 2018. He entered Sunday's game with a team-high 30 catches for 438 yards and five touchdowns, four of which came within the last three games.

Josh Reynolds figured to see more time while Kupp was sidelined, but the explosive Rams could lean even more on their other established playmakers to pick up the slack.

Brandin Cooks and Robert Woods are a dynamic one-two punch at wide receiver, and running back Todd Gurley can both anchor the rushing attack and contribute through the air as a pass-catcher.

That gives the Rams enough weapons to continue rolling in the NFC West, but this team has Super-Bowl-or-bust expectations after a 5-0 start. A healthy Kupp makes the Rams a far more formidable threat to bring home the Lombardi Trophy, so his return was a welcome sight for Los Angeles fans.
