Puka Nacua suffers late knee injury in Rams game against the Commanders, will he miss time?
The Rams fear a knee injury for their top receiver after he was hurt on the final offensive snap, with an MRI set to clarify the diagnosis.
Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Puka Nacua suffered a knee injury late in Sunday's 20-13 victory over the Washington Commanders when safety Jeremy Reaves dove into his legs during a fourth-quarter handoff.
Nacua had already missed Weeks 2 and 3 this year battling groin and hip injuries, interrupting the season for quarterback Matthew Stafford's primary target after his career-best 1,715-yard season last year.
Despite the injury, Nacua posted 14 catches for 150 yards and a touchdown, his ninth career 150-yard game, breaking a tie with Jerry Rice and Randy Moss for second-most in a player's first four seasons.
The Los Angeles Rams are reportedly optimistic Nacua has not torn his ACL, though he will undergo an MRI on Monday; the team already lacks Davante Adams, sidelined on injured reserve since Week 6.
Los Angeles stands at 5-4 for the first time this season and travels to Arizona to face the Cardinals before their Week 11 BYE, testing roster depth without both top receivers.
