Cooper Kupp returned to practice with the Los Angeles Rams on Thursday Cheap Tyeler Davison Youth Jersey , less than three weeks after the receiver injured his knee.While Kupp is still uncertain whether he'll play Sunday, the second-year pro is grateful to be anywhere near the field this quickly, since he also incurred a concussion one week before he was carted off the turf in Denver with that knee injury."It could have been worse," Kupp said. "Guys in this league go through a lot worse. It's football. You know these things are going to happen. At some point, everyone goes through some kind of injury if you play this game long enough. Hopefully you'll just move through this thing and work through it and get back out there playing the game I love."Kupp hopes to be in uniform when the Rams (8-0) visit the New Orleans Saints (6-1) in a tantalizing midseason NFC showdown, and coach Sean McVay expected to have LA's full complement of receivers at Jared Goff's disposal in what could be a high-scoring showdown with Drew Brees and coach Sean Payton.Kupp was hurt by a horse-collar tackle from the Broncos' Darian Stewart. One week earlier, he left a game in Seattle after taking a head hit.The dual experiences were a challenge for a receiver who never missed significant playing time in college at Eastern Washington or during his outstanding rookie season, when he led Los Angeles with 869 yards receiving and formed a tight bond with Goff."The first thing that goes through my head as soon as it happens is, 'I'm letting these guys down by not being able to be out there and compete,'" Kupp said. "You put so much time and effort into getting your body ready to play, and then when you're not able to because your body is not allowing you to, you feel like, 'What else could I have done to prevent this from happening?'"A receiver can't do much about a horse-collar tackle from behind, and the injury was alarming to his teammates."I think the knee one was definitely scary to see," Goff said. "You see those happen all the time New Orleans Saints Kaden Elliss Jersey , and usually they're not very good. Whenever someone gets carted off like that, usually it doesn't end up very good. I think he's recovered really quickly."Kupp had 30 catches for 438 yards and five touchdowns in the Rams' first five games this season. During his absence from most of the past three games, Los Angeles relied on second-year pro Josh Reynolds to fill Kupp's usual spot in the Rams' wideout trio of Robert Woods, Brandin Cooks and Kupp.Reynolds had only seven catches in the last four games, but two went for touchdowns in last week's 29-27 win over Green Bay. McVay loves to use his top three receivers in multiple roles with minimal substitutions, so Reynolds' ability to fill in for Kupp was vital."It's a great group of three," McVay said. "But I think what's been great, if you're going to try to spin a positive on Cooper being out, is it's given us a chance to see what we believed in Josh Reynolds, and that he's a starting-caliber receiver, certainly isn't too big for him."The Rams' passing balance has been a major asset in their unbeaten start. Woods (672 yards receiving) and Cooks (643 yards receiving) are both on pace for 1,000-yard seasons, while running back Todd Gurley is a major factor in the passing game again with 30 catches for 351 yards."Those three are very good receivers that can do everything," McVay said of Woods, Cooks and Kupp. "I think their skill sets complement each other really well."NOTES: CB Sam Shields missed practice Thursday with an illness. ... LB Trevon Young returned to full participation in practice. ... Defensive coordinator Wade Phillips jokingly referred to this weekend's trip to New Orleans as "another revenge game for me." Phillips was the Saints' 38-year-old interim coach for four games in 1985 New Orleans Saints Kaden Elliss Jersey , the first of his six stints as an NFL head coach. "Then they shipped me out of there, so I'm still mad at them," Phillips said laughingly. ... Dante Fowler said his first full practice with the Rams went well, and he is optimistic about being able to contribute Sunday if the Rams put him on the field. Los Angeles acquired the pass-rusher from Jacksonville in a trade Tuesday. "That's probably one of the easiest positions to come in and play," Phillips said. "You say, 'Hey, you go rush the passer on this down.' But he's picked up everything well. Seems like a sharp guy. Picked up everything so far. We may use him in our first- and second-down defense, too." Likely no one in the Cowboys locker room was happier to see his team win than Randy Gregory. The Cowboys defensive end went from goat to a mere footnote after Dallas pulled out a 13-10 victory.Gregory had three penalties for 34 yards in the second half. A roughing the punter penalty came on fourth down, giving the Saints a first down, and an offsides on third down negated a sack-fumble the Cowboys recovered.Cowboys defensive coordinator Rod Marinelli had a heart-to-heart to Gregory in the locker room afterward, saying he’s “100 percent there for [Gregory].”“I just talked to him about it,” Marinelli said. “He had a little adversity. I don’t want to be any more than that. Now, we let it go; we learn; and we move forward. That’s important. We all make mistakes. He’s got to now put it behind him and go. That’s what I want him to do.”Gregory, who had one tackle, did not talk to the media afterward.On the Saints’ sixth play in the second half Cheap Kaden Elliss Youth Jersey , Gregory got a 15-yard facemask penalty that moved the Saints to the Dallas 22. It led to a field goal.The Saints’ next possession would have ended at the Dallas 48 with a punt. But leery of a fake punt on fourth-and-three, the Cowboys kept their defense on the field, and Gregory took out punter Thomas Morstead. The 15-yard penalty gave the Saints’ new life, and three plays later, New Orleans scored a touchdown.With the Cowboys clinging to a 13-10 lead with 12:13 remaining, DeMarcus Lawrence sacked Drew Brees and forced a fumble that Tyrone Crawford recovered. It was negated by Gregory being penalized for lining up in the neutral zone, a penalty owner Jerry Jones didn’t agree with and called “punitive.” “Two bad plays,” Cowboys coach Jason Garrett said. “Obviously running into the kicker was huge and gave them another bite of the apple, another possession, after we鈥檇 made a stop. And then, we make a huge play — a sack fumble — and I guess they said he lined up offsides, so obviously that took that huge play away. Those are significant plays. Those are two turnovers if you think about it. But Randy is going about it the right way. He鈥檚 working hard. He鈥檒l learn from those, and he鈥檒l get better going forward.”
