The Los Angeles Rams lost 27-17 to the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday, dropped to 3-6, and Cooper Kupp got hurt. While things seem pretty terrible for the Rams right now, the injury news on Kupp could have been worse.

Kupp was going up for a John Wolford pass in the fourth quarter when a Cardinals defender landed on his lower leg.

After the game, The Athletic’s Jourdan Rodrigue reported that Kupp avoided a worst-case scenario.

Multiple sources said that after initial testing on Cooper Kupp's ankle, he appears to have avoided a worst-case scenario with the injury. Important to remember, though, that he'll go through more testing in the coming days for a clearer picture of the situation. @TheAthletic

It’s unclear what the “worst-case scenario” would have been, but it sounds like Kupp is unlikely to miss several months or so. Kupp had three catches for -1 yard in the game.

Kupp has 75 catches for 812 yards and six touchdowns this season. He was on pace for a strong statistical season but will now likely finish well below his breakout season from last year. The 29-year-old had 145 catches for 1,947yards and 16 touchdowns last season.
