Sean McVay shuts down Cooper Kupp trade speculation after star WR returns for Rams' win over Vikings
Los Angeles Rams head coach Sean McVay expects star receiver Cooper Kupp to stay right where he is
INGLEWOOD, Calif. (AP) — Los Angeles Rams head coach Sean McVay expects star receiver Cooper Kupp to stay right where he is.
McVay criticized media speculation about the possibility of the Rams trading Kupp after the Super Bowl 56 MVP returned from injury in Los Angeles' 30-20 victory over the Minnesota Vikings on Thursday night.
“I think a lot of the things that were out there, speculation was exactly what it was,” McVay said. “I’m really glad to have Cooper Kupp back with us, and that’s what I expect to stay that way.”
Kupp had been blanketed by trade rumors this week as he neared his return from a four-game absence with an ankle injury. The 2021 AP Offensive Player of the Year had five catches for 51 yards and a touchdown against the Vikings in the second victory in five days for the Rams (3-4), catapulting them back into contention in the NFC West.
