Puka Nacua Dealing With Shoulder Injury
Puka Nacua Dealing With Shoulder Injury
12 months ago
Los Angeles Rams rookie wide receiver Puka Nacua (shoulder) injured his shoulder in the Week 11 win over the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday, and head coach Sean McVay said it's unclear how serious the injury is. Nacua had been dealing with a minor knee injury for several weeks, but now he has a shoulder ailment as well. The 23-year-old led the Rams with five catches for 70 yards and a touchdown on seven targets in a game in which Cooper Kupp (ankle) didn't play at all in the second half due to injury. The Rams' receiving corps is suddenly very banged up heading into a Week 12 tilt against the Arizona Cardinals. If Kupp and Nacua were both unable to play this Sunday, Tutu Atwell, Austin Trammell and Demarcus Robinson could be the team's top three wideouts. We'll keep a close eye on Nacua and Kupp's practice statuses this week.
