NFL.com • • sports
Key Points:
- Rams coach Sean McVay confirmed a cautious approach to Puka Nacua’s health, listing him as doubtful for Sunday’s Week 3 game against the Denver Broncos due to a groin/hip injury.
- Nacua has missed the last two games and is expected to return in Week 4 against the Eagles, with the injury not considered long-term.
- Without Nacua, the Rams will rely heavily on Davante Adams and other receivers like Jordan Whittington, Xavier Smith, Konata Mumpfield, and Tutu Atwell, as the receiving corps lacks depth.
- Historically, the Rams have a 3-4 record in games without Nacua over the past three-plus seasons, highlighting his importance to the team’s offense.
- The Rams face the Broncos Sunday night at 8:20 p.m. ET, with quarterback Matthew Stafford likely to utilize tight ends more in Nacua’s absence.
