Puka Nacua injury update from Rams leaves WR's Week 3 status in doubt

The Los Angeles Rams held practice on Wednesday, but star wide receiver Puka Nacua was notably absent. According to ESPN's Sarah Barshop, Nacua is dealing with a hip/groin injury and will not join his teammates during their first practice of the week. Even though the Rams were only engaging in a jog-through session, Nacua's absence remained.

The team has not confirmed if Nacua will be available for Week 3, but Rams head coach Lance McLvay expressed uncertainty about the WR's status. While McVay stated the team is not concerned about a prolonged injury, Nacua will have two additional practice sessions before the team's Sunday matchup against the Denver Broncos, which could provide more clarity on his availability.
