Puka Nacua missed his 2nd straight game. When might he return?
ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports that Nacua could be back in Week 4, while surgery isn’t ‘entirely off the table.’
Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Puka Nacua missed his second consecutive game, as the team lost to the Denver Broncos 30-26 in a preseason matchup. Nacua has been dealing with a hip injury and has not played since the Rams' Week 1 loss to the San Francisco 49ers in Australia on September 10. ESPN's Adam Schefter reported that Nacua could return to the lineup as early as Week 4 against the Philadelphia Eagles, but surgery is not entirely off the table if his condition does not improve.
Nacua, a fifth-round draft pick in 2023, has developed into one of the league's top receivers and had a strong season in 2025, catching 129 passes for 1,715 yards and 10 touchdowns.
