Rams Evaluate Trade Options Ahead of NFL Deadline

Cooper Kupp of the Los Angeles Rams has been cleared to play in the upcoming game against the Minnesota Vikings after recovering from an ankle injury. Despite earlier trade rumors, Kupp and quarterback Matthew Stafford are focusing on their current roles with the Rams, though the team has engaged in trade talks involving Kupp. Head coach Sean McVay and Stafford are integral to the Rams' strategy, which involves evaluating long-term contracts and potential trades as the Nov. 5 NFL trade deadline approaches. The Philadelphia Eagles may trade cornerback Avonte Maddox to the Rams as they seek to bolster their defense. Additionally, the Buffalo Bills, who have acquired Amari Cooper, are interested in Kupp to strengthen their offense. The Rams' performance in the next two games will be pivotal in determining their season's trajectory and trade decisions.
