Rams To Be Careful With Puka Nacua

Rams To Be Careful With Puka Nacua

one year ago

Los Angeles Rams head coach Sean McVay said that the team will be careful with rookie wide receiver Puka Nacua (oblique), but he doesn't anticipate it affecting Nacua's game status for the Monday night game against the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 3. Nacua officially was listed as a non-participant in the first practice of the week on Thursday. The 23-year-old rookie also missed some practice time last week but was ultimately active in the Week 2 loss to the San Francisco Giants and caught an incredible 15 passes on 20 targets for 147 yards after going for a 10-119-0 line in his NFL debut in the season opener. For now, fantasy managers have no reason to pull the target hog from their starting lineups this week, and Cooper Kupp (hamstring) won't be back from Injured Reserve for at least two more weeks.
