The Rams officially opened the 21-day practice window for All-Pro wide receiver Cooper Kupp on Wednesday.
Kupp missed the first four weeks of the season on injured reserve while rehabbing chronic hamstring issues.
Los Angeles has 21 days to decide whether to elevate Kupp to the 53-man roster or shut him down for 2023.
Kupp is reportedly pushing to play Sunday when the Rams (2-2) host the unbeaten Philadelphia Eagles (4-0).
In his absence, fifth-round pick Puka Nacua has set NFL rookie records for catches and yards through four games.
Kupp, 30, was first injured in a training camp practice Aug. 1. He originally was expected to be out one to two weeks but missed all three preseason games. He returned to practice before the Aug. 26 preseason game against Denver before having a setback with the injury.
He won the receiving triple crown in 2021, leading the NFL with 145 catches, 1,947 receiving yards and 16 touchdowns, and won NFL Offensive Player of the Year. He was limited to nine games in 2022 with a high ankle sprain.
Kupp has 508 receptions for 6,329 yards and 46 touchdowns in 80 games (66 starts) since the Rams drafted him in the third round in 2017.
