Rams All-Pro Puka Nacua Misses Practice with Muscle Soreness. McVay Expects Him to Return Next Week
- All-Pro Puka Nacua is expected to return to practice next week, Los Angeles Rams Head Coach Sean McVay confirmed Thursday, following recent muscle soreness that sidelined him this week.
- During a Tuesday joint practice with the Dallas Cowboys, Nacua sustained the injury, forcing him to exit early and miss Thursday's session while recovering.
- Defensive End Myles Garrett also remains sidelined resting a knee injury, though both players would have missed Saturday's preseason opener against the Kansas City Chiefs regardless of health status.
- The team is being cautious with Nacua, who led the NFL with 129 receptions and 1,715 yards last season, making him the Rams' second-most important offensive player behind quarterback Matthew Stafford.
- Quarterback Stetson Bennett will start the preseason opener against Kansas City, while rookie Ty Simpson is also expected to play under first-year offensive coordinator Nate Scheelhaase.
