Rams WR Puka Nacua will not play in Week 2 because of hip injury
The Los Angeles Rams will be without their star offensive player, Puka Nacua, for their upcoming Monday Night Football game against the New York Giants. Nacua is officially inactive due to a hip injury. He did not participate in the team's practice sessions on Friday or Saturday, which led to the decision. Earlier, reports had suggested that Nacua's situation was looking bleak.
In the Rams' last game, Nacua had a solid performance, catching five passes for 74 yards in their season-opening defeat against the San Francisco 49ers. For the Giants, cornerback Deonte Banks and linebacker Micah McFadden are both listed as inactive after being marked as questionable. The Giants also have tight end Thomas Fidone, offensive lineman J.C.
Davis, defensive linemen Bobby Jamison-Travis and Darius Alexander, and safety Jason Pinnock sidelined. In the Rams' inactive list, Nacua joins receivers Jordan Whittington and C.J. Daniels, safety Kamren Kinchens, guard Bill Murray, and quarterback Ty Simpson. Simpson serves as the Rams' emergency third quarterback.
