Puka Nacua Questionable for Monday Night After Missing Two Practices

A pregame call on his groin soreness will likely push the Rams to rely more on Davante Adams and their tight ends.

Overview

  • Rams coach Sean McVay said Saturday that Nacua did not practice for a second straight day and will be listed as questionable for Monday night vs. the Giants.
  • McVay described the problem as groin soreness that he said is different from the psoas issue Nacua had in training camp.
  • Medical analysts have suggested the new hip/groin soreness could be a re-aggravation or a compensatory injury but the team has provided no confirmed diagnosis.
  • Backup receiver Jordan Whittington is listed as doubtful with a quadriceps issue while Aaron Donald is expected to play, leaving the Rams to adjust their game plan if Nacua is limited or inactive.
  • The Rams face an early-season injury strain that was worsened by missed practices after travel to Melbourne and the team will make a final availability decision before kickoff.
