The Seattle Seahawks are hoping to get wide receiver Cooper Kupp back from injury this week.

Kupp sat out in Week 9 after the Seahawks emerged from their bye due to heel and hamstring issues, but he was able to return to practice this week and turned in a limited session on Thursday and a full practice on Friday.

Despite closing out the week as a full participant, Kupp still received a questionable designation for the Week 10 game against the Arizona Cardinals.

Here's what we know about his status for Sunday.

Is Cooper Kupp playing today?

According to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport, Kupp's status remains up in the air going into Sunday, but Rapoport adds that the veteran wide receiver has a better chance of playing this week than he did last week.

"Seahawks WR Cooper Kupp, questionable with a hamstring and heel injury, has a better shot of playing this week than last week. It's still up in the air, but he's got a chance," Rapoport reported.

Based on the fact that Kupp was able to practice in full on Friday, we would expect the veteran wideout to play against the Cardinals.

However, make sure to keep tabs on the Seahawk's inactives, which will drop an hour and a half before the 4:05 p.m. ET kickoff on Sunday.

Cooper Kupp start or sit advice

Kupp enters Week 10 ranked as WR60 in fantasy points per game, so he's off the starting radar entirely on a weekly basis.

The fact that the Seahawks added Rashid Shaheed at the trade deadline won't help out Kupp's fantasy stock, nor will the emergence of Tory Horton.

Add in the fact that the Cardinals are surrendering the ninth-fewest fantasy points per game to wideouts and that is more ammo to keep Kupp on the bench.

Verdict: Sit
