Rams star Puka Nacua likely will be placed on injured reserve

The Los Angeles Rams’ star wide receiver Puka Nacua suffered a concerning knee injury in the final moments of Sunday’s 20-13 victory over the Washington Commanders, forcing the team to place him on the injured reserve list. Nacua, who has been a key playmaker for the Rams this season, will undergo an MRI on Monday to determine the extent of the damage, which includes a suspected sprain and turf toe.

The injury came on the team’s last offensive snap, ending a game that pushed the Rams over .500 for the first time this year. With Davante Adams already out of the picture, Nacua’s absence adds another layer of uncertainty for a roster already stretched thin at receiver.
