Former Los Angeles Rams triple crown winner Cooper Kupp was signed by Seattle as a veteran splash addition. However, his injury woes resulted in 18 games missed over the past three years combined, and his ability to achieve a career renaissance will be a major factor in the Seahawks' 2025 fortunes. Kupp has two games against his former squad to look forward to.NegativeRoleAug 1, 2026
Kupp is part of the Seahawks' receiving corps that should provide continuity for quarterback Sam Darnold, alongside Jaxon Smith-Njigba, Jake Bobo, and Rashid Shaheed.NegativeRoleNo date
Kupp had his most productive game of the season with five receptions for 50 yards but emerged upset with Seattle's offensive performance. He said the Seahawks are not doing a good enough job offensively to allow Darnold to play, not getting him into a flow, not turning small plays into big plays, struggling with the run game, and not protecting him adequately. Kupp emphasized that all players share responsibility for the team's struggles, not just Darnold.NegativeMatchupNo date
Seahawks receiver was impacted by Malik Mustapha's physical play; Mustapha sent Kupp flying out of bounds as he reached for the first-down marker on a fourth-and-10 play, preventing Seattle from converting on their final drive. This contrasts with a playoff game a year prior when Renardo Green was beaten by Kupp for a big gain.NegativeMatchupNo date
Kupp laid his outstretched body across the first-down marker on a crucial fourth-down conversion attempt with 47 seconds remaining in regulation, trailing 3 points; ruled short of the line to gain by a fraction of a yard on replay review, giving possession to the 49ers and sealing Seattle's 32-29 loss.
