Rams place WR Puka Nacua on IR
NBC Sports • • sports
Key Points:
- Despite initial statements from Sean McVay that Puka Nacua would not be placed on injured reserve (IR), the Rams moved the wide receiver to IR due to extended injury concerns.
- Nacua is dealing with MCL and PCL sprains in his knee and turf toe, sidelining him for at least four games, with the earliest return possible on December 20 against the Cowboys.
- The Rams have used three of their eight designated-to-return slots this season and currently have Kobie Turner, Davante Adams, Terrance Ferguson, and now Nacua on IR.
- To fill Nacua’s roster spot, the Rams signed wide receiver Brennan Presley and added Tyler Scott to the practice squad.
