If Thursday night marked Cooper Kupp’s final game with the Los Angeles Rams, the Super Bowl 56 MVP sure went out in style.
The 31-year-old Cooper Kupp has been mentioned aplenty in trade rumors over the last few days. But the Rams now have an interesting decision to make, as their 30-20 victory over the Minnesota Vikings on Thursday night pushed them to 3-4 and back into the playoff race.
Playing his first game since Week 2 against the Arizona Cardinals, Kupp came off the injured reserve and caught five passes for 51 yards and a touchdown in the Rams’ victory on “Thursday Night Football.”
After the win, ESPN’s Lindsey Thiry shared a video of Kupp running over to greet his family in the front row of SoFi Stadium.
Only time will tell if this was Kupp’s last post-game greeting with his family as a member of the Rams. But for what it’s worth, Rams head coach Sean McVay strongly suggested that Kupp isn’t going anywhere during his post-game presser.

“I’m really glad to have Cooper Kupp back with us and I expect it to stay that way,” McVay said after the game, per ESPN’s Adam Schefter.
Rams Should Give It Another Run With Cooper Kupp
The Rams offense has been a juggernaut with Kupp, Matthew Stafford, Kyren Williams and Puka Nacua all healthy. Nacua returned to the field on Thursday for the first time since Week 1, having missed the previous five games with a knee injury.
So the Rams may as well keep the band together and see if they can make another Super Bowl run, rather than punt on the season.
