The Los Angeles Rams had been without their best offensive playmaker to start the season.
Kupp had been struggling with a nagging hamstring injury that forced him to miss the first four games of the season.
Now, Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network reports that he’s been activated and expected to be on the field for Sunday’s clash with the Philadelphia Eagles.
The #Rams have officially activated WR Cooper Kupp from Injured Reserve and he’ll play on Sunday.

Kupp struggled with injuries last season as well, and he started off the year on the Injured Reserve (IR) list.
He’s not expected to be on a snap count or limited in any capacity ahead of their showdown, according to reports.
Kupp had been away from the team and visited a specialist to have a better understanding of the extent of his injury, as he had several issues shaking it off.
In the meantime, star rookie Puka Nacua emerged out of the blue to become Matthew Stafford’s favorite target, making a perfect Cooper Kupp impersonation to become one of the most explosive and productive wideouts through the first four weeks of the season.
Kupp’s injury could’ve been a blessing in disguise for Sean McVay’s team, as they found this hidden gem, which figures to stay heavily involved in the passing game, even with the WR1 back into the fold.
The Rams are sitting on a 2-2 record and the third spot in their division.
And while making the playoffs seems like a long shot, their chances just got a lot bigger with Kupp back on the field.
