Rams Get Brutal Puka Nacua News as IR Stint Likely Due to Three Injury Issues

  • On Monday, Los Angeles Rams head coach Sean McVay announced star wide receiver Puka Nacua will likely be placed on injured reserve due to MCL and PCL sprains in his knee and turf toe.
  • Nacua sustained the injuries on the final offensive snap of Sunday's 20-13 victory over the Washington Commanders, finishing with 14 receptions for 150 yards and a touchdown.
  • This setback further depletes a Rams receiving unit already playing without Davante Adams, who remains sidelined with a ruptured hamstring suffered in Week 6.
  • Head coach Sean McVay, previously hesitant about trade activity, suggested Monday he may now explore options to address roster vulnerabilities, with Jacksonville Jaguars receiver Brian Thomas emerging as a potential target.
  • The 5-4 Rams face the toughest remaining strength of schedule in the NFL according to ESPN Analytics, and will be without Nacua for at least four games, potentially returning December 20 against the Dallas Cowboys.
