Los Angeles Rams fans and Cooper Kupp fantasy managers can breath easy. Kupp avoided structural damage when he injured his right ankle against the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday. Rams head coach Sean McVay announced on Monday that Kupp is experiencing soft tissue swelling, but expects the All-Pro receiver to be ready for Sunday's game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Kupp injured his ankle on the Rams' final drive in Sunday's 31-14 loss. The Rams ran a screen pass for Kupp on third-and-4 with less than two minutes remaining in regulation, and his ankle was injured on the tackle. The injury left Kupp down on the field for several moments, prompting concerns that it might have been serious. He was seen after the game walking with a limp and a wrap around his injured ankle. McVay told reporters he was "kicking myself" for calling Kupp's number instead of running the ball on a meaningless play with the game's outcome already determined. But Kupp avoided serious damage and could be ready for Sunday's playoff rematch against the Bucs. The game is critical for both teams as the Rams (3-4) and Bucs (3-5) are already in a fight for their playoff lives after meeting in last season's NFC divisional round. The Rams beat the then-defending champion Bucs in a 30-27 thriller en route to their own Super Bowl championship. Kupp is key to the Rams' success. After leading the NFL in receiving yardage and touchdowns last season he's fifth in the league this season with 686 yards and five touchdowns through seven games. He's the only Rams wide receiver with more than 300 yards.

Daniel Weinman won the World Series of Poker's main event world championship on Monday in Las Vegas, earning $12.1 million along the way. Playing in the tournament for a 16th year, Weinman was tops in a deep pool of 10,043 players vying for $93.39 million. His victory came after just 164 hands at the final table. "I was honestly on the fence about even coming back and playing this tournament," the 35-year-old Atlanta native told reporters afterward. Weinman's final table featured Jan-Peter Jachtmann, who landed in fourth place and took home $3 million, as well as Toby Lewis, who finished seventh and secured $1.42 million. According to the Las Vegas Review-Journal, the main event's entry pool far outpaced the previous record of 8,773 set in 2006. "I've always kind of felt that poker was kind of going in a dying direction, but to see the numbers at the World Series this year has been incredible," Weinman said. "And to win this main event, it doesn't feel real. I mean, [there's] so much luck in a poker tournament. I thought I played very well." Steven Jones finished second, securing $6.5 million. And Adam Walton settled for third and a $4 million prize.
