Kupp appears to be ready to compete in Week 7
The matter of Cooper Kupp's injury was always considered to be a multi-week setback for the team. But the Rams roster had saturated their Injured Reserve designations by Week 2, so the team gambled on keeping Kupp on the active roster and avoiding exhausting one of the limited restorations from IR to the team's active roster.
And yet, the team will still exhaust all restorations from IR long before the team runs out of injured players.
Be that as it may, Kupp appears more and more likely to suit up for Week 7. That was confirmed by the comments of Rams HC Sean McVay:
Rams WR Cooper Kupp is “trending in the right direction” to play Sunday against the Las Vegas Raiders, HC Sean McVay said Wednesday.

Of course, there is that matter of coachspeak that is a term used to describe an NFL head coach saying a lot of words, but ultimately saying very little in the way of meaningful information. And yes, Rams HC Sean McVay is extremely verbose, sometimes recalling intricate details of an offensive play called years ago.
And he proves that recollection in discussing the play years later, in exact detail.
So it's important to showcase WR Cooper Kupp as well. It's not enough to say 'he's doing well,' and leave it at that. It's just as important to share and visual evidence to that effect. Thankfully, we have that to share as well. As a result, you can see that there appears to be no limits to what Kupp can do right now.

There it is. Kupp is running at full speed, making breaks without hesitation, and appearing to be everything that the LA Rams expect him to be on game day.
So what problems may arise?
