Overview
- The Rams activated Puka Nacua for Week 4 and he played Sunday after missing Weeks 2 and 3 for hip and groin discomfort that began in training camp and flared after a Sept. 17 practice.
- Multiple outlets reported the team entered the game with no intention of limiting his snaps, though reporters offered conflicting pregame accounts about a possible stricter snap count.
- Nacua produced a game-high nine catches for 125 yards and helped the Rams rally to a 24–20 victory over the Philadelphia Eagles, including key fourth‑quarter catches that set up the game‑winner.
- Officials flagged Nacua for an illegal blindside block in the third quarter, and the NFL may fine him and record a disciplinary strike under the league’s revised system pending review.
- The return restores the Rams’ top receiving weapon while the club copes with defensive absences such as Aaron Donald being ruled out, and the team will continue to monitor Nacua’s hip to avoid risking longer‑term surgery or setbacks.
