Regardless of the injury significance, it is another blow to a Rams team that is already missing Puka Nacua. The rookie sensation from 2023 was injured in the Week 1 loss to the Detroit Lions after he injured the same knee he had issues with in training camp. It was determined Nacua has a knee sprain and he was placed on the injured reserve list, sidelining him for at least a month.

When Nacua got injured, Kupp stepped up and had a monster game with 14 catches for 110 yards and one touchdown. Prior to his injury against the Cardinals, Kupp had four catches for 37 yards.
