Cooper Kupp marks tenth NFL season as Seahawks win opener

Former Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Cooper Kupp, now playing for the Seattle Seahawks, shared a message on social media following the Seahawks' 2026 season opener against the New England Patriots. Kupp, who posted “Chapter X, Verse I” to mark his tenth NFL season, recorded two receptions for 35 yards during the victory.

The game was marked by an injury to Seahawks starting quarterback Sam Darnold on the opening drive. However, head coach Mike Macdonald provided positive updates following the game, stating that medical tests ruled out a fracture, though further evaluations are required. Backup quarterback Drew Lock assisted the offense during the period.

In a separate discussion regarding his professional development, Kupp reflected on his time with the Rams and head coach Sean McVay. Kupp noted McVay’s intense dedication to self-improvement, including a practice of rewatching his own team speeches to critique his leadership and communication style.
