Puka Nacua has a "pre-hernia"
NBC Sports • • sports
Key Points:
- Rams receiver Puka Nacua has been dealing with a "pre-hernia," a weakness in the muscle wall near his hip/groin that has not yet developed into a full hernia.
- Coach Sean McVay confirmed Nacua does not currently have a hernia, but the condition could worsen if the muscle weakness does not improve with rest.
- Nacua missed two games due to hip/groin issues but played well in a recent game, recording nine catches for 125 yards despite the ongoing injury concerns.
- The situation remains uncertain, as continued physical stress could exacerbate the condition, potentially leading to surgery during or after the 2026 season.
- This injury is a significant concern for the Rams, given Nacua's status as one of the NFL's top receivers and the risk of long-term impact on his performance.
