Key Points:
- The Los Angeles Rams are facing a shortage of available injured reserve (IR) slots due to numerous injuries this season.
- Wide receiver Puka Nacua, who is expected to miss several weeks with knee ligament sprains and turf toe, will not be placed on IR to preserve roster flexibility.
- Head coach Sean McVay explained that "roster semantics" are influencing the decision to keep Nacua on the 53-man roster despite his extended absence.
- The Rams may receive a boost to their receiving corps soon, as star receiver Davante Adams is potentially set to return for Week 13 against the Kansas City Chiefs.
