Cooper Kupp finally returns to the Rams' lineup Thursday when the 5-1 Minnesota Vikings come to town with a bunch of Rams connections on board.

Cooper Kupp has been sidelined since spraining his ankle in Week 2 against the Arizona Cardinals, sitting out the last four games. The Los Angeles Rams went 2-2 in that stretch without Kupp but his return is finally here.

Three years ago, Matthew Stafford and Cooper Kupp made history while delivering the Rams ' first Super Bowl win as a Los Angeles-based team. Now, Kupp is embroiled in trade rumors with the Nov. 5 deadline looming. While rumors like this can be unsettling, Kupp is keeping an even-keeled approach to the situation.
