‘He’s Ready To Go,’ ‘Literally The Call He’s Waiting On’ — Rams Urged To Target Former Texans All-Pro as Puka Nacua Fill-In
DeAndre Hopkins has spent this fall coaching receivers at Georgia Tech, but ESPN analyst Max Browne said Monday that the 34-year-old “works out to stay ready” in case an NFL team calls. The same day, Los Angeles Rams coach Sean McVay revealed that Puka Nacua has MCL and PCL sprains and turf toe.
DeAndre Hopkins, the assistant receivers coach at Georgia Tech, is being urged by ESPN analyst Max Browne to consider the Los Angeles Rams for a potential wide receiver replacement for Puka Nacua. Nacua is sidelined with MCL and PCL sprains and turf toe, as well as turf toe, and the Rams are considering placing him on injured reserve, which could keep him out for at least a month.
Hopkins, who previously played for the Baltimore Ravens in 2025, has expressed a desire to play for a competitor. The Rams, currently 5-4 and third in the NFC West, are facing a significant injury problem with Davante Adams also on injured reserve with a hamstring injury.
