Rams vs. Raiders Set for Sunday Clash Amid Injury Updates

The Las Vegas Raiders are set to face off against the Los Angeles Rams this Sunday, October 20, at the SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California. The game, set for a 4:05 p.m. ET (1:05 p.m. PT) kick-off, will be broadcast live on CBS and streamed on Paramount+.

A key storyline heading into the matchup revolves around the possible return of Rams wide receiver Cooper Kupp. Rams’ head coach, Sean McVay, has indicated that Kupp’s recovery from his recent injury is “trending in the right direction.” Although McVay has not confirmed Kupp’s participation, he stated, “He’s feeling good, and the important thing is, what we’ve got to dictate and determine is, is he going to be ready to play like Cooper Kupp’s capable of playing?” McVay also noted that Kupp will be engaging in “football-like movements in some of the individual settings.”

On the other side of the field, the Raiders will be without their wide receiver Davante Adams, who has been struggling with a hamstring injury. His absence will be felt as the Raiders, with a current record of 2-4, look to bounce back after losing three of their last four games.

The Rams, with a 1-4 record, are also trying to regain momentum following a two-game losing streak. Despite their struggles, running back Kyren Williams has been a standout performer, scoring a rushing touchdown in every game this season.
