The Rams were forced to play Sunday’s game against the Cardinals without two of their most important players, Cooper Kupp and Michael Brockers. Both players landed on the reserve/COVID-19 list last week and remain there as of Tuesday, forcing them to miss Week 17 against Arizona.
They remain away from the team to start this week of preparation for the Seahawks, but Sean McVay shared an encouraging update on their statuses for Wild Card Weekend. According to McVay, Kupp is expected to return to the team on Wednesday, while Brockers should be back later in the week as long as they continue to test negative.
Sean McVay says he expects WR Cooper Kupp to be back tomorrow and DL Michael Brockers to return later this week from the Reserve/COVID-19 list "as long as they continue to stay on the progression that they're on right now."

The Rams will practice Wednesday and Thursday before traveling to Seattle on Friday for Saturday’s game. So if Brockers is going to practice this week, it’ll have to be on Thursday – which would be enough for the veteran defensive lineman.
Getting Kupp and Brockers back, as well as possibly Andrew Whitworth, would be a huge boost to the Rams’ chances of pulling off the upset on the road against the Seahawks.
