Puka Nacua, Myles Garrett remain out of practice for Rams
The Rams are continuing to give two of their star players time to heal.
Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Puka Nacua missed another practice on Monday due to a core muscle injury sustained during a joint session with the Dallas Cowboys last week. He has not returned to action since the incident. Head coach Sean McVay had previously indicated that Nacua should be back in practice this week. Meanwhile, Los Angeles' blockbuster trade acquisition Myles Garrett, who was named NFL Defensive Player of the Year, also skipped Monday's practice due to swelling in his knee.
Nacua is a crucial part of the Rams' offense, which is spearheaded by NFL MVP Matthew Stafford. Last season, Nacua set the league record with 129 receptions for 1,715 yards and 10 touchdowns. The Rams kicked off their preseason with a victory over the Kansas City Chiefs last weekend. They will face the New Orleans Saints in another preseason game on Saturday.
The 2026 regular season for the Los Angeles Rams begins with a Week 1 game against the San Francisco 49ers on September 10.
