All-Pro WR Puka Nacua suffers knee injury in Rams’ win vs Commanders
All-Pro wide receiver Puka Nacua suffered a knee injury in the Rams' win over the Commanders. It is not believed to be a torn ACL.
The Los Angeles Rams secured a 20-13 victory over the Washington Commanders, but their celebration was short-lived as they now face the possibility of losing star wide receiver Puka Nacua to a knee injury. During the game's final offensive play, Stafford passed the ball to Nacua on third and 11, aiming to secure a first down and seal the win.
However, a Washington defender's tackle left Nacua injured and forced a punt. The extent of his injury remains uncertain, but it is unlikely to be a torn ACL. An MRI is scheduled for Monday to assess the damage. The Rams' next match is against the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday, followed by a Week 11 bye. In Week 12, they will host the Green Bay Packers on Wednesday, just before the Thanksgiving holiday.
The absence of Adams, who may return against the Packers, could further complicate the Rams' playoff prospects, as they currently hold a 5-4 record and are the No. 8 seed in the NFC.
