The Facts: Kupp worked through individual drills on the sideline Monday as the Los Angeles Rams opened organized team activities. Kupp tore his ACL in a victory over the Seattle Seahawks in Week 10 last season. Kupp, speaking to reporters for the first time since his injury, would not commit to a date when asked when he would like to return. "I can't predict how I'm going to feel even a week from now," the 25-year-old said. "But the way that things are going, I'm happy with the way that things are trending. Each week there's progress."
Diehards Line:HC Sean McVay said the goal was for Kupp to return in Week 1 against the Carolina Panthers. "He's like a kid standing on the sidelines that just wants to grab a ball and go play," McVay said. "He's one of those guys that's right on track with where we want him to be." Last season, Kupp played a crucial role in the Rams' offense, which produced an average of 421.1 yards and 32.9 points per game. As a second-year pro, Kupp caught 40 passes for 566 yards and six touchdowns. But the productivity of the offense, and of quarterback Jared Goff, diminished during Kupp's absence. So his return is worth watching.
