An MRI on Monday revealed a sprained MCL and PCL for Nacua, who also suffered a turf toe injury on the Rams’ final offensive play in Sunday’s win over the Commanders. Nacua caught 14 passes for 150 yards and a touchdown in the win, drawing a target on 44.2 percent of Stafford’s pass attempts. It goes without saying that this creates a massive problem for a Rams passing game that has failed to find a serviceable WR2 sans Davante Adams (hamstring). Now, McVay and company will be faced with a new challenge as they try to replace Nacua with the likes of Tutu Atwell, Jordan Whittington, Konata Mumpfield, or a player not yet on the roster. Long believed to be buyers ahead of Tuesday’s trade deadline, it seems like a foregone conclusion that GM Les Snead will do what he can to acquire a playmaker for Matthew Stafford with whatever draft picks he still has at his disposal. The Rams currently only hold one pick in the first three rounds of the 2027 NFL Draft but still hold their first-round picks in 2028 and 2029, per Spotrac.com.
