Los Angeles Rams star wide receiver Cooper Kupp will play in Sunday's game against the host Arizona Cardinals, coach Sean McVay said Friday.

Kupp sustained a sprained right ankle while blocking on a running play during the second quarter of Los Angeles' 17-16 victory over the Seattle Seahawks last Sunday. He didn't participate in practice on Wednesday and was limited the following day.

McVay said Kupp would be a full participant in Friday's session.

"I thought he looked good (Thursday)," McVay said. "It's always tough because you try to simulate game-like settings as much as possible when you get the adrenaline going, the magic of the jersey, if you will. ... I'll probably have a good feel for how he moves around today, but his feedback and just looking at it from afar, (it) seems like he's feeling pretty good."

Kupp, 30, missed four games to start the season because of a hamstring injury. He returned to action Oct. 8 against the Philadelphia Eagles. In six games (all starts), he has 24 receptions for 375 yards and one touchdown.

Kupp has spent his entire career with the Rams, who selected him in the third round of the 2017 NFL Draft out of Eastern Washington. In 86 career games (72 starts), Kupp has 532 receptions for 6,704 yards and 47 TDs, and 23 rushing attempts for 132 yards and one score.
