Overview
- The Rams announced that Puka Nacua did not practice on Friday or Saturday and is officially listed as questionable for Monday night at SoFi Stadium.
- Coach Sean McVay described the problem as groin soreness and said it is a different issue than the psoas muscle trouble Nacua had in training camp.
- The team will continue medical evaluations through the weekend with a likely pregame decision, leaving Matthew Stafford’s target distribution uncertain.
- Backup Jordan Whittington is doubtful with a quadriceps issue while Aaron Donald is expected to play, forcing the offense to rely more on Davante Adams and tight ends if Nacua is unavailable.
- Nacua’s late‑week absence highlights broader depth concerns for the Rams after heavy travel to Melbourne and other recent injuries, which could affect play design and personnel choices this season.
