Rams' WR Tutu Atwell has definitive four-word reaction to Cooper Kupp trade rumors
Los Angeles Rams receiver Tutu Atwell has given a firm response to the Cooper Kupp trade rumors. As the Rams are off to a 1-3 start, Kupp's name has come up in trade rumors.
Kupp would be one of the top receivers available in a trade and if Los Angeles trades him, it would be the start of the Rams rebuild. However, Atwell doubts LA will be looking to trade Kupp despite the 1-3 start.
"Coop ain't going nowhere. Everybody know that, Cooper ain't going nowhere," Atwell said on the Up & Adams Show.
Kupp is still a key part of the Rams offense and Atwell doesn't think the team will have any interest in trading him.
However, what also hinders a potential deal is the fact that Kupp is dealing with an injury. The star wide receiver has already been ruled out for Sunday's Week 5 game against the Green Bay Packers. The receiver sprained his left ankle in Week 2.
This season, Kupp has recorded 18 catches for 147 yards and a touchdown.
Cooper Kupp's injury has the Rams off to a slow start
Cooper Kupp is one of the NFL's top receivers and was set to be a key part of the Rams offense.
However, Kupp suffered a sprained ankle in Week 2. It was disappointing for Kupp and the Rams, and after starting the year 0-2 and losing Kupp to an injury, coach Sean McVay had confidence the team would continue fighting.
"I know they continue to fight," McVay said, via NFL.com. "We've got a lot of mentally tough people in that room. These are these moments where you get tested. I know when I look back on moments of growth for me, they never occurred in good times.
"They only occurred in moments like this. This is one of those moments that you got that pit in your gut and you got a choice, hey, you want to attack it or you want to fold? And I'm betting on a lot of the guys that they're gonna raise their head high," McVay added.
The Rams are coming off a 24-18 road loss in Week 4 to the Chicago Bears. Los Angeles will host the Green Bay Packers in Week 5 at 4:25 p.m. ET.
