\ufeffCooper Kupp\ufeff will make his season debut Sunday.<\/p>\n

Kupp, who’s been sidelined through the first four weeks due to a hamstring injury, returned to practice Wednesday and now is set to play against the visiting Philadelphia Eagles, coach Sean McVay told reporters Friday.<\/p>\n

“Yeah,” McVay said when asked if he expected Kupp to play. “Unless something different happens in the next 48 hours.”<\/p>\n

Kupp still has to be activated off injured reserve.<\/p>\n

The return to action will snap a streak of 12 straight missed games for Kupp, the Super Bowl LVI Most Valuable Player.<\/p>\n

“He’s looked like Cooper, which is a good thing,” McVay said Friday. “You can’t ever really simulate the game in these practice settings … but he’s very comfortable, he’s so conscientious, he looks like he’s moving around well. I’m seeing good things between he and Matthew (Stafford) with a lot of their non-verbal communication. Just having his presence out there is a boost.”<\/p>\n
