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.
