One of the NFL’s best wide receivers is finally active. Los Angeles Rams star Cooper Kupp is officially a go for the game against the Philadelphia Eagles.

Kupp’s highly anticipated return was confirmed by Los Angeles Rams head coach Sean McVay on Friday. The wide receiver, who has been out through the first four weeks of the season due to a hamstring injury, returned to practice Wednesday. On Saturday, he was officially activated from injured reserve.

Elsewhere, the Cincinnati Bengals will be facing the Arizona Cardinals without one of their top weapons. Wide receiver Tee Higgins has been ruled out with a reported rib injury, which means a hobbled Joe Burrow will be down one of the wideouts that makes the offense so dangerous when everything is clicking.
