Rams star Puka Nacua out for an ‘extended period’ after suffering injury on final play of win
Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Puka Nacua will miss an extended period after injuring his knee and toe on the final play of the team’s 20-13 win over Washington. His absence leaves the Rams without their two leading receivers and puts added pressure on the remaining wideouts as the team pursues a fourth consecutive win.
Coach Sean McVay said Nacua sprained his MCL and PCL and suffered turf toe, but the Rams do not plan to place him on injured reserve. In seven games, he has made 70 catches for 715 yards and four touchdowns. Davante Adams, out with a hamstring injury since Week 6, has 30 catches for 480 yards in six games; the Rams are targeting their Week 12 game against Green Bay for his return. Los Angeles is 5-4 and faces Arizona on Sunday.
In short
- Puka Nacua is out for an extended period with knee and toe injuries.
- The Rams are also without Davante Adams, who may return in Week 12.
- Los Angeles is 5-4 and plays Arizona on Sunday.
