Sean McVay says it is "the hope" that Cooper Kupp will be able to come off of injured reserve when the Los Angeles Rams face the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 5.

Kupp has missed the Rams' first three games of the season with a hamstring injury and is eligible to return from IR after Week 4.

The wide receiver first injured his hamstring Aug. 1 during a training camp practice and experienced a setback prior to the start of the season.

McVay said he didn't "want to pigeonhole" himself by saying that Kupp would be able to play in Week 5, but that the wide receiver is progressing and "ramping up his workload."

"He's doing a great job with [VP of sports medicine Reggie Scott] and his group, but when you're talking about returning to performance and returning to play, those are different things," McVay said. "And we want him to be able to return to performance at the level that he's capable of.

"And so we're continuing to take it a day at a time. I know he's doing everything in his power to be able to get himself ready to go and get out there with his teammates, and hopefully next week will represent that."
