THOUSAND OAKS, Calif. — Cooper Kupp has watched with admiration from the sidelines while Matthew Stafford, rookie Puka Nacua and the Los Angeles Rams fielded one of the NFL’s best passing offenses in the first four games of the season.

Kupp is finally ready to make it even better. He’s expected to make his season debut Sunday when the Rams host Philadelphia.

Kupp returned to practice this week with the Rams (2-2) after missing the first month of the season with a hamstring injury. Kupp was hurt early in training camp and aggravated the injury in late August.

“It’s been a long time since I played a real football game,” Kupp said Friday. “I’m so excited about that, but watching these guys has been so much fun.”

Kupp hasn’t played since last November. He missed the final eight games last season with an ankle injury after catching 75 passes for 812 yards and six touchdowns.

PATRIOTS: New England’s most dominant offensive lineman was a late addition to this week’s injury report.

Trent Brown was added Friday with a chest injury, and he’s been listed as questionable for Sunday’s game against the Saints, along with nine teammates.

Running back Rhamondre Stevenson (thigh) is among the questionable players and would be one of the biggest losses on the list. Other starters with the questionable designation are Cole Strange (knee), Christian Barmore (knee), Davon Godchaux (ankle) and Jonathan Jones (ankle). though Jones is expected to return.

n After a 10-year career, linebacker Jamie Collins is calling it quits. Collins won a pair of rings with the Patriots and will be best remembered for his hyper-athleticism.

“It hasn’t hit me yet but I’m officially retired,” Collins told ESPN. “It was wonderful and something I never thought I’d be a part of. Made a lot of great relationships. Had a ton of fun. Now it’s time to relax and be with my family.”

DOLPHINS-BEARS: Miami made a trade with Chicago for wide receiver Chase Claypool.

The trade involves a late-round pick swap of 2025 draft selections; the Dolphins sent a sixth-round pick to Chicago and the Bears traded a seventh-rounder with Claypool, a maligned wideout in recent seasons. The deal is pending a physical on Claypool.

JETS: Cornerback D.J. Reed will be sidelined Sunday against Denver while contiuing to recover from a concussion.

Coach Robert Saleh said Reed still had not cleared the NFL’s concussion protocol, leaving the Jets without one of their key defensive leaders when they face Russell Wilson and the Broncos.

BRONCOS-49ERS: Denver traded benched pass rusher Randy Gregory to San Francisco in a deal that also includes the exchange of 2024 draft picks, with Denver sending over a seventh-round selection for a sixth-round choice.

As part of the deal, the Broncos (1-3) are picking up the bulk of the $10.9 million remaining on Gregory’s salary this season.

BILLS: Edge rusher Von Miller said it’s a “safe bet” that he’ll make his season debut Sunday against Jacksonville in London.

Miller, who sustained a knee injury last November, said there’s a “941/2 percent” likelihood of him suiting up.

SEAHAWKS: The NFL decided not to discipline safety Jamal Adams for his actions toward an unaffiliated neurotrauma consultant in Monday night’s win over the New York Giants.

GIANTS: Running back Saquon Barkley was listed as questionable for the  game Sunday at Miami.

COMMANDERS: Coach Ron Rivera said he was not considering making changes to his coaching staff after a third stragith loss, this time in humiliating fashion against Chicago, which was previously winless.

DOLPHINS: Miami placed veteran left tackle Terron Armstead on injured reserve because of a knee injury he suffered in Week 4 against Buffalo.
