Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Puka Nacua says Cooper Kupp is on a revenge tour after an injury-riddled 2023 campaign. Kupp missed the first eight games of the season due to a high ankle sprain. 

"I've been training with Coop, so it's been good. He's on a revenge tour. He's been able to get a healthy offseason and stuff so he's back at it," Nacua said, via Pro Football Talk. 

Despite making his season debut on October 8 against Philadelphia, Kupp finished with 59 catches for 737 yards and five touchdowns. Nacua emerged as a star in his absence despite being a fifth-round pick out of BYU in the 2023 NFL Draft. He took the league by storm, catching 105 passes for 1,486 and six touchdowns.

The Rams' offense has the potential to be dynamic when operating at full strength. Running back Kyren Williams had a breakout season, delighting fantasy team owners with his 228 carries for 1,144 yards and 12 touchdowns.

Quarterback Matthew Stafford, with his 24 touchdowns,11 interceptions, and 3,965 passing yards, further adds to the excitement about the upcoming season. 

With the 2024 NFL Draft approaching, it'll be intriguing to see if the Rams draft an eventual heir to Stafford's throne. Stafford turned 36 in February and could be in the final years of his career.
