SEATTLE, WASHINGTON - NOVEMBER 03: Puka Nacua #17 of the Los Angeles Rams looks on prior to a game against the Seattle Seahawks at Lumen Field on November 03, 2024 in Seattle, Washington.

Overview

  • Nacua was evaluated by trainers after a leaping end-zone play involving Ravens cornerback Marlon Humphrey and was ruled questionable to return with a foot injury.
  • He walked off after the second-quarter play, which helped prevent a potential interception and led to a Rams field goal.
  • Before the injury, Nacua had a notably quiet opening stretch with no early targets as Matthew Stafford looked frequently to Davante Adams.
  • Through five games, Nacua leads the NFL with 52 receptions for 588 yards, placing him on a pace flagged by multiple outlets for potential single-season records.
  • Nacua has credited Adams’ defensive gravity and early trust with Stafford for his surge, and Adams projects as the primary receiving option if Nacua misses time.
