Puka Nacua Cleared to Play Sunday vs. Saints After Ankle Sprain

His return reshapes the Rams' target mix with Tutu Atwell on injured reserve.

Overview

  • The Rams removed Nacua from the injury report after back-to-back full practices, and Sean McVay said he expects him available barring a setback.
  • Nacua said he is feeling “fantastic” and plans to play, describing himself as ready to go after using the bye week to rehab.
  • He rolled his left ankle in Week 6 at Baltimore, missed the Week 7 London game, and benefited from the Week 8 bye to recover.
  • Through six games, he ranks among the league leaders with 54 receptions and 616 yards, with two receiving touchdowns.
  • McVay emphasized monitoring Nacua’s workload given his physical style and a 2024 PCL sprain that cost him six games.
