Cooper Kupp is expected to return from an ankle injury to face the Minnesota Vikings on Thursday night, and he is not the only Los Angeles Rams star who could take the field for the first time in weeks.
Puka Nacua had his 21-day practice window opened earlier this week, and Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports that the second-year wide receiver could be active against Minnesota. Nacua suffered a knee injury in Week 1 and has not played since.
“They just opened up Nacua’s practice window a couple of days ago, but he’s listed as questionable and my understanding is there is now optimism that Puka Nacua could play (on Thursday night),” Pelissero said. “He’s not gonna go out there, probably, and play 70 snaps. He’s only had one real practice, but he’s had a good week. … If all goes well, it seems like we’re trending toward Puka Nacua at least being active for the Rams.”
