  "account": "Wide receiver Puka Nacua exited Tuesday's practice due to an undisclosed injury. Head coach Sean McVay provided no update to reporters. Quarterback Matthew Stafford offered more detail, stating he did not witness the injury firsthand. Stafford told ESPN's Lindsey Thiry, \"I did not. I'm not really sure what the issue was, but nobody ran up to me in a panic, so I don't think it was anything too major.\" In his 2025 NFL MVP season, Stafford connected with Nacua on 129 receptions for 1,715 yards and 10 touchdowns. Nacua set the NFL record with 107.2 yards per game, earning second-place finishes in Pro Bowl and All-Pro honors. The Rams kick off their preseason with the Kansas City Chiefs on Saturday, followed by games against the New Orleans Saints and Los Angeles Chargers. Stafford and the Rams commence the 2026 regular season with a Week 1 game against the San Francisco 49ers on September 10.",
