Sean McVay on Puka Nacua injury: I'd be lying if I said I wasn't questioning that play call
Key Points:
- Rams wide receiver Puka Nacua will be placed on injured reserve after sustaining MCL, PCL, and turf toe injuries during the team's win over the Commanders.
- Nacua was injured on the Rams' final offensive play when he took a handoff and was tackled, prompting head coach Sean McVay to express regret over the decision to put him in that position.
- McVay acknowledged feeling responsible and emphasized the need to balance player protection with creating opportunities for key players to contribute.
- With Nacua and Davante Adams both sidelined indefinitely, the Rams may seek additional receiving options before the trade deadline, despite lacking several future draft picks due to prior trades.
