The Los Angeles Rams are entering a very important game against the Minnesota Vikings on “Thursday Night Football.”
If the Rams lose, they will fall to a record of 2-5 and could be looking toward the future with the NFL trade deadline looming.
Fortunately, the Rams could be getting back not one, but two star pass-catchers.
“(Cooper Kupp) is off the injury report officially ready to roll. … There is now optimism that Puka Nacua could play tonight,” NFL Network insider Tom Pelissero said on “Good Morning Football.”

This game is a big one for many reasons, especially on the Rams’ side of things.
If they lose, the possibility of trading for Kupp could be on the horizon with rumors swirling around the team.
When it comes to Nacua, the franchise and the fans should just be thrilled to see the Pro Bowler back on the field.
The Rams have not been 100 percent healthy since they faced the Detroit Lions back in Week 1.
If L.A. can come together and upset Minnesota, it might have a chance to salvage its season.
After all, the duo of Kupp and Nacua is one of the best in the league, and when quarterback Matthew Stafford is on, he is one of the toughest signal-callers in the game.
That is why the Vikings might need to be wary considering they are coming off their first loss and playing on the road on a short week.
