The second-year receiver is coming back from a Week 6 ankle sprain to reinforce a 5-2 team tied atop the NFC West.

Overview

  • ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports Nacua is expected to play Sunday against New Orleans after the Week 8 bye.
  • Sean McVay said Nacua will return to practice on Wednesday as he ramps up for Week 9.
  • Nacua injured his ankle in Week 6 against the Ravens, and the Rams handled Baltimore 17-3 and routed Jacksonville during his recovery.
