When will Puka Nacua return? Latest injury updates on Rams WR

The Rams are not at full strength, and wide receiver Puka Nacua is among their injured stars. Here's the latest injury update on the star receiver.

The Los Angeles Rams are struggling to begin their season, falling to 1-2 after a challenging game against the Denver Broncos. Wide receiver Puka Nacua, a key player for the team, has been sidelined since September 17 due to a hip and groin injury. Since then, Nacua has not participated in any practices or games, raising concerns about his return for the upcoming match against the Philadelphia Eagles.

Rams coach Sean McVay provided an update on Nacua's status, listing him as questionable for the Sunday game. After a productive workout and walkthrough, McVay expressed excitement about having Nacua back. However, Nacua's participation in practice has been limited, suggesting his recovery is still ongoing. In Week 1, Nacua managed just five catches for 74 yards, failing to score a touchdown.

With the Rams still in contention for a Super Bowl, Nacua's return in good health will be crucial to their success. The team's depth chart, without Nacua, consists of Davante Adams, Konata Mumphfield, CJ Daniels, Xavier Smith, Jordan Whittington, and Tutu Atwell. Adams stepped up as the primary target for quarterback Matthew Stafford during Nacua's absence, recording 15 catches for 332 yards and two touchdowns in the last two games.
