Injury on the final play
Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Puka Nacua is likely heading to the injured reserve list. Head coach Sean McVay shared the update on Monday after Nacua suffered an MCL and PCL sprain in his right leg, along with turf toe.
Nacua picked up the injuries on the final offensive snap of Sunday's win over the Washington Commanders. On a third down play, he rushed for five yards and took a hard hit. He stayed on the ground for a moment before walking off the field.
Big numbers before the setback
Before getting hurt, Nacua put up massive numbers in the victory. He pulled in 14 catches for 150 yards and a touchdown after being targeted 19 times by quarterback Matthew Stafford.
Nacua has been on a tear recently. Over his last two games, he grabbed 25 receptions, which is the second most by a Rams player in the Super Bowl era. He also set an NFL record with 70 receptions through a player's first seven games of a season.
Tough schedule ahead for Los Angeles
McVay did not give an exact timeline for how many weeks Nacua will miss, but stated the team expects him to be out for at least a month. If he goes to injured reserve, he will miss upcoming games against the Arizona Cardinals, Green Bay Packers, Kansas City Chiefs, and San Francisco 49ers.
The Rams are already missing wide receiver Davante Adams, who hurt his hamstring in Week 6. McVay was asked if these injuries might change the team's plans before the trade deadline. He mentioned that the team must look at all avenues to solve current issues and would not rule anything out.
