Surprisingly, the Los Angeles Rams have been competitive through their first four games in the 2023 NFL season.
They defeated the Seattle Seahawks in Week 1 and the Indianapolis Colts three weeks later.
They lost to the San Francisco 49ers and the Cincinnati Bengals, both by one possession.
However, they will get a boost for Week 5 as one of their best players returns to action.
The NFL’s official Twitter account shared, “Rams HC Sean McVay says Cooper Kupp will play Sunday for the Rams”

Rams fans are hoping they get the 2021 Cooper Kupp version back.
That was the guy who led the league in receptions, receiving yards, and touchdowns.
His efforts were massive in the Rams’ journey to victory in Super Bowl LVI.
But given that he’s been out for so long, Kupp might be a shell of his dominant form.
Kupp played only nine games last season due to a high ankle sprain that required surgery.
In his absence, the Rams went from Super Bowl champions to 5-12 and out of playoff contention last season.
Having Kupp will give Matthew Stafford another target to work with.
So far, rookie wide receiver Puka Nacua and running back Kyren Williams have been holding down the fort for the Rams.
The Rams will face the Philadelphia Eagles in Kupp’s return.
Despite not playing their best football, the Eagles have remained undefeated in four weeks.
