Rams expected to place All-Pro Puka Nacua on IR with MCL, PCL sprains

The Los Angeles Rams keep suffering injuries. Star receiver Davante Adams is already on injured reserve, and now All-Pro receiver Puka Nacua is likely to join him with MCL and PCL sprains and a turf toe.

Nacua already missed time earlier in the season with a groin pull, and he has also dealt with a calf strain. If he is placed on IR, he will miss at least four games. Los Angeles’ next four games are against the Arizona Cardinals, Green Bay Packers, Kansas City Chiefs, and San Francisco 49ers.

Adams is expected to return earliest against the Packers. So, the Rams will certainly be without both of their top receivers when they face the Cardinals next week. It will be the first time this year they are without Nacua and Adams for a full game.

Nacua suffered the injury on the Rams’ final offensive play against the Washington Commanders when Matthew Stafford handed the ball off to him. He was hit in the knees, leading to his injury. This injury further raises concerns that Los Angeles could miss the playoffs despite getting Myles Garrett back this week. At 5-4, they are currently on the outside of the NFC playoff picture as the No. 9 seed in the conference and the third seed in their division.
