Graziano: Puka won't miss rest of regular season
Key Points:
- Rams wide receiver Puka Nacua suffered a sprained MCL and PCL along with a turf toe but is expected to return around Week 14 or 15, with the team possibly avoiding placing him on injured reserve before Week 10.
- With Nacua and Davante Adams sidelined, the Rams will shift to a run-heavy offense relying more on Kyren Williams, Blake Corum, Tyler Higbee, and Colby Parkinson, while Terrance Ferguson's return remains uncertain due to a hamstring injury.
- Colts slot receiver Josh Downs was traded to the Chiefs, with Anthony Gould set to take over the slot role; Gould has limited career stats but should see increased targets in deeper leagues.
- Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson will start in Week 10 after missing the previous game with a concussion, facing a Texans defense that allows significant air yards.
- Giants inquired about acquiring Falcons running back Bijan Robinson before the trade deadline, reflecting concerns over Cam Skattebo's ability to handle a lead back workload amid backfield injuries.
