Plenty of people had high expectations for the Los Angeles Rams this season after they unexpectedly went 10-7 and made the playoffs in 2023.
Their success last year was due to a few young studs who emerged alongside established veterans such as quarterback Matthew Stafford and wide receiver Cooper Kupp.
Lately, there have been rumors that the Rams may trade Kupp and that he could perhaps be headed to the two-time defending Super Bowl champion Kansas City Chiefs, who just lost young wideout Rashee Rice to an ACL injury.
Fellow Los Angeles wideout Tutu Atwell told Kay Adams on “Up & Adams” that Kupp “ain’t going nowhere.”

Just three seasons ago, Kupp had a dream season in which he posted 145 catches for 1,947 yards and 16 touchdowns as the Rams went on to defeat the Cincinnati Bengals in the Super Bowl.
But since then, he has been slowed by injuries, and he played in a total of just 21 games the previous two seasons.
Kupp has been out for L.A.’s last two games because of an ankle injury, and while he isn’t on injured reserve, he was initially expected to sit out for an extended amount of time.
Meanwhile, Puka Nacua, the wide receiver who had a sensational rookie year in 2023, has an ankle injury of his own, and he is expected to miss at least one more month as a result.
The Rams are just 1-3, and they have a tough matchup coming up this Sunday against Jordan Love and the Green Bay Packers at SoFi Stadium.
