Cooper Kupp Injury Update
Kupp (ankle) will be evaluated pregame, but the expectation is that he won't be able to play on Sunday against the Raiders. If Kupp is confirmed as inactive, Jordan Whittington (shoulder) and Tutu Atwell would earn additional opportunities within the Los Angeles offense.
Rams WR Cooper Kupp, listed as questionable for Sunday due to an ankle injury, is unlikely to play vs. the Raiders, per sources. Rams still want to work out Kupp pre-game before making any decision about him.

Nick Chubb Injury Update
Chubb (knee) has been activated from the PUP list and will make his season debut on Sunday against the Bengals. The talented veteran likely won't see a full workload in his first game back, but he's still headed for noteworthy volume with Jerome Ford (hamstring) sidelined. Chubb is a low-end fantasy RB3 this week.

JuJu Smith-Schuster Injury Update
Smith-Schuster (hamstring) is expected to play in Week 7 despite being listed as questionable.
