The Rams and wide receiver Cooper Kupp are finalizing a three-year extension that ties him to Los Angeles through the 2023 season, sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter.

Kupp is expected to sign the deal later Saturday.

A third-round pick in 2017 out of Eastern Washington, Kupp was set to enter the final season of his rookie contract.

Kupp, who underwent surgery to repair a torn ACL and missed most of the 2018 season, bounced back last season. He led the Rams with 94 receptions for 1,161 yards and 10 touchdowns -- which ranked second among NFL receivers behind the Detroit Lions' Kenny Golladay's 11 touchdown receptions. Kupp's 544 yards after the catch ranked fourth among receivers, and he ranked third in his position group with 184 receiving yards after first contact.

The Rams open their first season in the new SoFi Stadium on Sunday night against the Dallas Cowboys.
