Rams will explore 'all avenues' to solve WR issues with Puka Nacua out

Los Angeles Rams coach Sean McVay has been asked multiple times about the possibility of adding a wide receiver before the trade deadline. It came up after Davante Adams was placed on injured reserve, and McVay more or less ruled out a move. It was brought up a few weeks later with the deadline approaching, and again, McVay said the Rams would likely stand pat.

But after announcing that Puka Nacua will miss "at least a month" with an MCL/PCL injury and turf toe, McVay is more open to the possibility of bringing in outside help.

He told reporters on Monday that the Rams will explore "all avenues" when it comes to solving the wide receiver situation. He isn't ruling out a potential trade before Tuesday's trade deadline, which would have to be made by 4 p.m. ET.

The Rams went all-in this year by bolstering their defense, but the offense is lacking depth, and it's currently being tested at wide receiver and tight end. Their lack of draft capital makes it even more challenging to acquire a proven player before the deadline, but they have future picks after 2027 that they can always use.

As for the players Los Angeles already has on the roster, Tutu Atwell, Konata Mumpfield and Jordan Whittington are all available. Additionally, McVay hinted that rookie CJ Daniels could see more playing time, too.

Nacua is by far the Rams' top receiver, leading the team with 715 yards and 70 catches in the seven games he's played. He missed two games earlier this season with a groin injury, but during that time, the Rams had Davante Adams available.

For at least the next game, they'll be without both star receivers, but there's always a chance Adams returns after the bye when the Rams face the Packers in Week 12.
