Rams' Sean McVay Provides Week 3 Injury Update on Puka Nacua
Rams wide receiver Puka Nacua is doubtful to play in the Week 3 contest vs. the Broncos, but his injury isn't a long-term issue.
Wide receiver Puka Nacua of the Los Angeles Rams is doubtful to play in their Week 3 game against the Denver Broncos due to a groin injury. This marks his second straight missed primetime game for the team. Coach Sean McVay stated that barring any setbacks, Nacua should return for Week 4's matchup against the Philadelphia Eagles.
The Rams did not appear to suffer greatly from Nacua's absence during their Week 2 loss to the New York Giants, as veteran receiver Davante Adams stepped up with 195 yards and two touchdowns on eight catches. Second-year tight end Terrance Ferguson, who caught six passes for 54 yards and a touchdown on Monday night, is expected to see increased usage in Nacua's absence.
Other tight ends like Colby Parkinson, Davis Allen, and Tyler Higbee will also need to step up their games, as the Rams aim to become a stronger and more well-rounded team this season.
