Cooper Kupp Makes His Expectations for Rams Clear Before Return Game

The Los Angeles Rams and Seattle Seahawks will meet for the first of two games this year on Sunday in Los Angeles.

Wide receiver Cooper Kupp, who spent the first eight seasons of his career with the Rams and was the MVP of the team's Super Bowl LVI victory, will make his first return to Los Angeles since signing with the Seattle Seahawks ahead of the 2025 NFL season.

Kupp compiled two 1,000-yard seasons with the Rams and had his best season in the championship season of 2021, finishing with 145 receptions for 1,947 yards and 16 touchdowns.

He was asked Thursday whether he thinks the Rams will do a tribute to him for everything he did for the organization, and he confirmed that he has no idea.

"Yeah, I don't know," Kupp told reporters. "I didn't know that. I don't know. I didn't die. I'm here."

It's entirely up to the Rams to decide whether they want to honor him after eight great seasons with the team.

Kupp has fit in nicely with the Seahawks this season, compiling 26 receptions for 367 yards and a touchdown in eight games. He has helped the Seahawks win seven of their first nine games, which puts them in a share of first place with the Rams in the NFC West.

Whoever wins Sunday's game in Los Angeles will be alone in first place.

Kickoff is set for 4:05 p.m. ET on Fox. Joe Davis and Greg Olsen will have the call.
