Preview coverage from therams.com

• Stu Jackson on 5 things to watch for coming out of the bye

• Stu Jackson on Cooper Kupp "trending in the right direction" and other injury updates

I think we'll get a good feel. This will be the first time that you're able to do football-like movements in some of the individual settings. I'll be able to have a good update for you guys tomorrow on that." - Sean McVay

Other preview coverage heading into Week 7

• The Athletic's Jourdan Rodrigue on changes in the secondary and potentially more position groups
  • "Now, my role has changed a little bit just to primarily play safety. To me, it's fine. … For me, it's (about) high-level communication and minimizing explosive plays and the deep balls, and making plays too — not just batting it down, (but) interceptions, all those things. And then it's getting everybody in the right position so that everybody can play fast." - Quentin Lake
• LA Times' Gary Klein on the Rams' sense of urgency, but not panic, ahead of Week 7
  • "It would be lying if we said we didn't want to start 5-0 — but we didn't. And now … we've left less room for those flaws later in the year. But having done it last year, it instills a confidence not that it's going to happen on its own, but we're capable of making it happen." - Troy Reeder
• ESPN's Sarah Barshop on Cooper Kupp's potential return and impact on the team
  • "If he's going to be ready to go, then we want him to play and if not, then we're hopeful that Thursday would be the day that he does." - McVay
