All-Pros Nacua, Garrett could miss week of practice with Rams to rest minor injuries, McVay says
Receiver Puka Nacua and defensive end Myles Garrett are expected to miss the upcoming week of practice with the Los Angeles Rams due to minor injuries. This news was shared by head coach Sean McVay. Nacua, an All-Pro receiver, suffered soreness in his psoas muscle during a joint practice with the Dallas Cowboys last week. Garrett, another All-Pro defensive end, has been dealing with intermittent knee swelling since his first year with the Rams.
McVay indicated that it might be next week before both players can return to practice. Despite their injuries, both players have been working out individually, with Nacua doing conditioning and weight training, and Garrett participating in individual workouts. However, McVay emphasized that the team needs to ensure these players are fully ready before returning, as they prepare for a challenging preseason season.
Rookie offensive lineman Keagen Trost will be out for "a few weeks" after injuring his hamstring during the team's preseason opener last Saturday. McVay provided no status update on retired defensive tackle Aaron Donald, who has been deciding whether to return to football at the age of 35.
