Rams' Cooper Kupp: Not expected to play

Coach Sean McVay said Kupp (knee) is doubtful to play Sunday against the Packers, Lindsey Thiry of ESPN.com reports.

This does at least amount to a small sign of progress for the wideout after McVay ruled Kupp out for last Sunday's game against the 49ers at the same point last week. Kupp presumably will be held out of Wednesday's practice and doesn't seem likely to see much work -- if any -- Thursday or Friday either. Kupp is working back from a sprained MCL, an injury that typically comes with a recovery timetable of 2-to-4 weeks. His expected absence frees up regular snaps for Josh Reynolds and allows Robert Woods to spend more time working out of the slot.
