L.A. Rams News: Training with the enemy

Posted by Admin July 13, 2026 NFL

Cooper Kupp and his Seattle Seahawks are coming off a Super Bowl win, and apparently, he’s in Los Angeles training with Puka Nacua. It’s cool to see the fomer Los Angeles Rams’ teammates still working together, despite being on separate teams. Who knows what the future holds? Perhaps someday they’ll be on the same team again, that doesn’t seem the most likely, but you never know!

What we do know is it’s July and players have to start getting ready (if they haven’t already) for all the football that lies ahead. I hope Nacua and Kupp enjoy their training together, and I don’t doubt they will be ready to go come gameday. No love lost come gameday either regardless of how much time they spend together.

It’s Monday, I hope you had a nice weekend. Another work week lies ahead, but football continues to get closer and closer.

Thank you for checking out Turf Show Times and have a great day!

“A new video from The Village, where several current and former Rams players work out, shows Kupp training with his good friend Puka Nacua. Both players are getting ready for their respective training camps, which begin later this month.

Kupp was a mentor to Nacua during their two seasons together with the Rams in 2023 and 2024, and it seems he’s still maintaining that “big brother” role to the young receiver in L.A.“

““Stafford’s MVP campaign vaulted him into the top three in convincing fashion. Stafford earned an impressive 17% of the first-place votes. He has not been a fixture in the top half of the voting since the inception of our top 10 lists in 2020, but Stafford produced the fourth season in NFL history with at least 45 touchdown passes (46) and fewer than 10 interceptions (eight). The others were executed by Aaron Rodgers (2020, 2021) and Brady (2007).”

Stafford was incredible during his MVP run last season. The veteran quarterback logged 4,707 passing yards with 46 touchdowns and eight interceptions during the regular season. But his fantastic season and MVP win were not enough to earn him the top spot.“

“Matthew Stafford finally received the individual recognition that had eluded him throughout much of his NFL career.

The respect continued into the offseason.

Despite his older age, Stafford climbed three positions to No. 3 in ESPN’s ranking of the NFL’s top quarterbacks for 2026, placing behind only Josh Allen and Patrick Mahomes.“
