Pelissero: Puka Nacua (groin) on snap count vs. Eagles
NBC Sports • • sports
Key Points:
- Puka Nacua is expected to return as a WR1 for the Rams in Week 4 after participating in a full practice on Friday, though his snap count is still being managed alongside Davante Adams.
- Nacua has been sidelined since Week 1 due to a groin injury, which is distinct from a previous offseason psoas injury, and while surgery is not currently expected, it remains a possibility if his condition worsens.
- Rams coach Sean McVay has been cautious about Nacua's status, with limited practice participation and a doubtful designation for recent games, leaving fantasy managers uncertain but hopeful for his Week 4 return.
- In Nacua's absence, Davante Adams has stepped up as a top-tier WR1 option, posting career-high receiving yards in consecutive games, while Terrance Ferguson has emerged as a viable TE1 target.
- The Rams' offense has faced multiple injuries recently, making Nacua's potential return significant for the team's passing game and fantasy football outlook.
