This post is updated with new information.

We know that Cooper Kupp is back from his high ankle sprain for the Los Angeles Rams on Thursday -- and hey, maybe the team is showcasing him for a trade -- but what about Puka Nacua, who hasn't played since Week 1?

Per NFL Network's Tom Pelissero, there is now "optimism" that he'll play. He might be limited, he said, but it's possible he'll be out there, suited up and at least active.
