McVay: Week 7 'ideal target' for Cooper Kupp's return from injury, 'but by no means is that guaranteed,' plus updates coming out of Packers game

WOODLAND HILLS, Calif. – Rams head coach Sean McVay on Monday said Week 7 against the Raiders would be "an ideal target" for wide receiver Cooper Kupp's return from his ankle injury, but added "by no means is that guaranteed."

"The Raiders was always an optimistic target date, just based on a few weeks back," McVay said ahead of the Rams entering their Week 6 bye.

Kupp sustained a left ankle sprain in Week 2 against the Cardinals which has sidelined him for the team's last three games. McVay declined to say whether Kupp would practice when the team returned from its bye week, noting he hadn't had the chance to speak with Rams Vice President, Sports Medicine and Performance Reggie Scott.

In terms of injury updates coming out of the Packers game, McVay said there were some "nicks and bruises" – wide receiver Jordan Whittington had a shoulder injury, offensive lineman Alaric Jackson had some swelling in knee, defensive end Braden Fiske has a sore shoulder, safety Kam Curl has hip soreness and quarterback Matthew Staffordback soreness – but none of those injuries are expected to affect each player's availability when Los Angeles returns from its bye week.
