Rams Place Puka Nacua on Injured Reserve
The Los Angeles Rams placed star receiver Puka Nacua on injured reserve Thursday, sidelining him for at least four games after he sustained MCL and PCL sprains and turf toe against Washington. Nacua has 70 catches for 715 yards and four touchdowns this season despite earlier injuries. His absence uses one of the Rams’ limited regular-season IR return slots, reducing flexibility for other injured players. The Rams also remain without Davante Adams, who is recovering from a hamstring injury, as they face the Cardinals, Packers, Chiefs and 49ers during Nacua’s expected absence; Tutu Atwell, Konata Mumpfield, CJ Daniels and Xavier Smith are among the receivers expected to help fill the gap. Los Angeles promoted Brennan Presley to the active roster and added Tyler Scott to its practice squad.
