Rams All-Pro Puka Nacua likely to go on injured reserve with knee, toe injuries
CBS Sports • • sports
Key Points:
- The Los Angeles Rams will likely place All-Pro wide receiver Puka Nacua on injured reserve due to MCL and PCL sprains and turf toe, sidelining him for at least four games.
- Nacua, who led the NFL last season in catches, receiving first downs, and receiving yards per game, has been the Rams' top receiver this season with 70 catches, 715 yards, and 4 touchdowns.
- Nacua joins fellow injured All-Pro wide receiver Davante Adams on injured reserve, with Adams expected to miss 6 to 10 weeks due to a hamstring injury.
- The earliest Nacua could return is Week 15, benefiting from the team's Week 11 bye for additional recovery time, while Adams may return as early as Week 12.
- With both star receivers sidelined, running back Kyren Williams and tight ends Tyler Higbee and Davis Allen have become primary targets in the Rams' offense.
