The Rams reportedly want to receive a second-round pick in exchange for Kupp.
Kupp has been dealing with an ankle injury since Week 2, but is expected to return to the starting lineup when the Rams play the Minnesota Vikings on Thursday Night Football.
Through two games this season, Kupp has 18 catches for 147 yards and one touchdown.
During the Rams' 2021-2022 Super Bowl championship season, Kupp had one of the best seasons in NFL history as a wide receiver.

After that season, Kupp has struggled to be on the field, appearing in only 23 of the Rams' last 40 games.
