Sean McVay on Puka Nacua injury: I'd be lying if I said I wasn't questioning that play call

Rams wide receiver Puka Nacua was placed on injured reserve after sustaining MCL, PCL and turf‑toe injuries on the final offensive play of the Sunday win over Washington. The injuries occurred when he took a handoff on third‑and‑11 and was tackled after a five‑yard gain.

Head coach Sean McVay told reporters he has been “kicking himself” over the decision to put Nacua in that situation, saying he repeatedly questions the play call and feels responsible for protecting his players. With both Nacua and veteran receiver Davante Adams now sidelined indefinitely, the Rams may need to explore trade options before the deadline, though they have already given up several future draft picks in previous deals.
