Puka Nacua

Rams coach Sean McVay said Puka Nacua (knee) could miss more than four games while on injured reserve.

McVay said Nacua, Steve Avila, and Joe Noteboom all have “unique” injuries that could keep them out longer than the minimum of four games on injured reserve. It’s an ominous update for fantasy managers who took Nacua at the end of the first round. He suffered a sprained right PCL in the Rams’ Week 1 loss to the Lions after injuring the same knee during training camp. The Rams will pepper Cooper Kupp with targets until Nacua returns, putting him in the top half of the WR1 ranks going forward. Demarcus Robinson, now the team’s No. 2 receiver, is now a viable WR4.
