Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Cooper Kupp is listed as a playing time decision for Saturday’s NFC division game against Green Bay Packers, Tom Pelissero of the NFL Network reports.
Kupp suffered a knee injury in the 30 to 20 victory as a wild card against the Seattle Seahawks last week. According ESPN’s Adam Schefter, Kupp has knee bursitis and the Rams do not expect a decision on their status until pre-game warm-up.
Rams coach Sean McVay said last week that he expected Kupp to play against Green Bay on Saturday. However, according to Pelissero, the receiver was unable to practice all week.
The Rams and Packers face off at Lambeau Field at 4:35 pm eastern time.
