Rams lose Puka Nacua for several weeks after MRI reveals knee injury in devastating blow

The Los Angeles Rams expect star receiver Puka Nacua to miss at least a month after an MRI found sprains to the MCL and PCL in his right knee, along with turf toe. He is likely to go on injured reserve, leaving the team short of key offensive targets as it seeks to build on a third consecutive win.

Nacua was injured on the final offensive play of Sunday’s 20-13 victory over Washington. He had 14 catches for 150 yards and a touchdown from 19 targets, plus 20 rushing yards; receiver Davante Adams is already out with a ruptured hamstring, and tight end Terrance Ferguson is expected to miss several weeks. With the trade deadline approaching Tuesday at 4 p.m. ET, the Rams may look for another receiver.
