Rams Receiver Puka Nacua to Miss at Least a Month with Sprained Knee Ligaments and Turf Toe – WTOP News
The Rams say the All-Pro receiver will go on injured reserve after MCL and PCL sprains and turf toe.
- On Thursday, the Los Angeles Rams placed wide receiver Puka Nacua on injured reserve after he sustained MCL and PCL sprains plus turf toe during Sunday's 20-13 victory over the Washington Commanders, sidelining him for at least four weeks.
- Head coach Sean McVay admitted he is "kicking himself" over the jet sweep play call on the final offensive snap, where Nacua took a hard tackle that exposed him to the collision causing the injury while securing the win.
- Before exiting, Nacua caught 14 passes for 150 yards, marking his ninth career 150-yard game and breaking a tie with Jerry Rice and Randy Moss for the second-most such performances in a player's first four seasons since 1970.
- The Rams promoted wide receiver Brennan Presley to the active roster and signed Tyler Scott to the practice squad Thursday, facing a depleted unit with Davante Adams already on injured reserve and no trade deadline acquisitions.
- Los Angeles now faces the Arizona Cardinals, Green Bay Packers, Kansas City Chiefs, and San Francisco 49ers over the next four weeks, with Nacua ineligible to return until the December 20 game against the Dallas Cowboys.
