The Los Angeles Rams will likely be without their top receiver for at least the next month. Rams coach Sean McVay told reporters Monday that the team expects to place All-Pro wide receiver Puka Nacua on injured reserve with sprains of the MCL and PCL in his knee, as well as turf toe. Nacua will miss at least four games. Nacua was hurt on the Rams\u2019 final offensive snap of Sunday\u2019s 20-13 win over the Washington Commanders. He took a jet sweep on third-and-11 with less than two minutes remaining and was tackled by Commanders safety Jeremy Reaves. Nacua was later seen being evaluated by the training staff on the sideline and underwent an MRI on Monday. The Rams had said Sunday that they didn\u2019t believe he tore his ACL. McVay told reporters Monday that he\u2019s been second-guessing the play call. “I\u2019m kicking myself about those kinds of things,” McVay said. “I\u2019d be lying to you if I said I haven\u2019t questioned the decision making on that last play over and over.” The injury comes right after one of Nacua\u2019s best performances of the season. He finished Sunday\u2019s game with 14 catches for 150 yards and a touchdown, including a leaping 7-yard score early in the fourth quarter that broke a 13-13 tie and proved to be the game-winner. The loss is a significant blow to a Rams receiving group that was already thin, with Davante Adams on injured reserve. McVay also said the team will look to add depth to the receiver room. The win was the Rams\u2019 third straight and improved them to 5-4. They play at the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday, then have their bye week during Week 11 before hosting the Green Bay Packers on Nov. 25. Nacua, a two-time Pro Bowler, has been one of the league\u2019s most productive receivers since the Rams selected him in the fifth round of the 2023 draft out of BYU. He set rookie records that season with 105 receptions and 1,486 receiving yards. The win was the Rams\u2019 third straight and improved them to 5-4.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
