Puka Nacua suffered knee injury on final offensive play of game
Follow
Puka Nacua recorded 14 receptions for 150 yards during Sunday's 20-13 victory over the Commanders, matching a team record for 10-catch games. However, the wide receiver sustained a knee injury on the final play of the contest, a five-yard rushing carry.
While initial assessments suggest the injury is not an ACL tear, he is scheduled for an MRI on Monday to determine the severity. If Nacua is sidelined, the Rams will face significant challenges, as other receivers like Konata Mumpfield and Tutu Atwell saw limited production in the win.
The team may now look to the trade market for depth, with potential targets including Josh Downs and Brian Thomas Jr. The Rams are scheduled to play the Cardinals next Sunday before entering a bye week.
