Puka Nacua’s injury setback could keep Rams WR out until Week 15 after latest diagnosis

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Puka Nacua could miss at least a month after suffering a knee injury, a setback that may keep him out until Week 15.

Nacua underwent an MRI on Monday to assess the extent of the injury. The results led the Rams to consider placing the receiver on injured reserve, although the team has not confirmed that move in the supplied update.

Rams Assessing Nacua’s Availability

Rams coach Sean McVay said Nacua would “probably be a guy that we put on IR as a result of that.” McVay also indicated that the receiver could remain sidelined for “at least a month.”

An injured-reserve placement would keep Nacua unavailable while he recovers and would formalize the uncertainty surrounding his return. Based on the current timeline, his absence could extend through Week 15.

What the Injury Means for the Rams

Nacua’s potential extended absence leaves the Rams managing a significant question at wide receiver. For now, the club’s next confirmed step is evaluating the MRI findings and determining whether to place him on injured reserve.

The team’s timetable remains dependent on Nacua’s recovery, and no more specific return date has been confirmed.
