Rams expect WR Puka Nacua to land on injured reserve with knee sprains and turf toe
Follow
The Los Angeles Rams’ offensive playmaking was dealt another setback as wide receiver Puka Nacua suffered knee injuries—including a suspected turf toe—during the team’s Week 9 victory over the Washington Commanders. Nacua, who played a key role in the Rams’ 20-13 win, will undergo an MRI on Monday to assess the severity of his injuries, with team officials expressing caution about the timeline for his return.
The timing of Nacua’s status update comes just one day before the NFL trade deadline, adding pressure to a roster already weakened by the loss of Davante Adams to injured reserve. With the Rams’ passing game hinging on his production, Nacua’s availability could further complicate their depth at wideout heading into the final stretch of the season.
