Los Angeles Rams head coach\u00a0Sean McVay<\/a>\u00a0provided a significant hint on\u00a0Cooper Kupp<\/a>\u2019s future with the team as trade rumors surrounding the superstar wide receiver continue to heat up.<\/p>\n Over the past few days, multiple reports have indicated that the Rams have made Cooper Kupp available with the Nov. 5 trade deadline approaching. But judging by McVay\u2019s message to reporters after the game, the 31-year-old will not be available after all.<\/p>\n After missing the Rams\u2019 previous five games with an ankle injury, Kupp returned to the field on Thursday night and helped LA to a 30-20 home win over the\u00a0Minnesota Vikings<\/a>. Just like that, the Rams are now 3-4 and just a game behind the Seattle Seahawks for tops in the NFC West.<\/p>\n Per ESPN\u2019s\u00a0Adam Schefter<\/a>, McVay\u00a0strongly indicated<\/a>\u00a0in his post-game presser that Cooper Kupp will remain with the Rams past the trade deadline.<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019m really glad to have Cooper Kupp back with us and I expect it to stay that way,\u201d McVay said after the game.<\/p>\n If GM Les Snead holds up his end of the bargain, then Rams fans can be content about a second-half postseason push with the Super Bowl 56 MVP here to help.<\/p>\n Kupp finished the game with five receptions for 51 yards and a touchdown. Fellow star wide receiver Puka Nacua, who missed the previous six games with a knee injury, also returned on Thursday and caught seven passes for 106 yards.<\/p>\n Rams HC Sean McVay to reporters regarding the speculation about a potential Cooper Kupp trade: \u201cI’m really glad to have Cooper Kupp back with us and I expect it to stay that way.\u201d pic.twitter.com\/4jIh3W3zpP<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 Adam Schefter (@AdamSchefter) October 25, 2024<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n
