NFL Rumors: Insider provides massive update on Cooper Kupp and Matthew Stafford’s health after dismal season
Cooper Kupp and Matthew Stafford had a phenomenal run in the 2021-22 NFL season, helping the Los Angeles Rams win the Super Bowl. However, their title defense was anything but phenomenal.
Due to injuries to Kupp, Stafford, and Aaron Donald, the Rams missed out on the playoffs, and there were serious doubts about whether head coach Sean McVay would return.
NFL insider Peter Schrager recently provided a positive health update about Kupp and Stafford.
"He and Stafford are playing tennis often," he said on the Pat McAfee Show. "The word is that Stafford and Kupp are both healthy right now... Based on what I'm hearing, they're going to be participating in offseason stuff.
"It's Aaron Donald and Kupp and Stafford and it's Sean where it's 'hey you know, don't forget about us. We still have some stuff left to prove.' So he's (McVay) coming back and I think he's in a good place. He was in a good place last year at this time after they won the Super Bowl and then it quickly went dark once they had all the injuries and they had to dig out of that hole."
The Los Angeles Rams are without a first-round pick in the 2023 NFL Draft, which is why both Cooper Kupp and Matthew Stafford will be required to be at their best if they want to achieve success next season.
The Rams also recently traded away Jalen Ramsey and that could turn out to be quite pivotal. However, if Aaron Donald, Kupp, and Stafford manage to stay healthy, this team could still cause many teams trouble.

Cooper Kupp and Rams will look to bounce back next season
In 2021, Cooper Kupp cemented himself as one of the best wide receivers in the NFL. Last season before getting hurt, he was on pace to have another great season.
Now that he is back healthy, Kupp will hope to lead the Rams and make them contenders once again. He had 75 catches for 812 yards and scored seven touchdowns in nine games last season.
While many are sleeping on the 2022 Super Bowl champs, the team still has many pieces that Sean McVay can work with and do wonders.
