Overview
- The Rams say Nacua walked off a joint practice with the Dallas Cowboys on Tuesday with the training staff and did not finish the session because of soreness in his groin area.
- Coach Sean McVay later specified the issue as psoas soreness and described Nacua as day-to-day, expecting him to be ready to return to practice next week.
- ESPN’s Adam Schefter has reported the league is reviewing Nacua’s offseason conduct and that a suspension — possibly keeping him out of the Rams’ Week 1 game in Melbourne — remains a real possibility.
- Nacua faces an active civil lawsuit from March alleging a biting incident and antisemitic remarks, he entered rehab in April and the team says he completed it, and the Rams have paused contract-extension talks while these matters are unresolved.
- Nacua led the NFL in catches and posted 1,715 yards in 2025, so even a short absence would strain Los Angeles’s passing game given limited proven depth and could alter the team’s opener plans and season outlook.
