Overview

  • Puka Nacua was injured on a contested end-zone play with Marlon Humphrey, was helped to the locker room, and was initially listed as questionable with a foot injury.
  • Nacua returned to the sideline with his helmet and later re-entered the game, finishing with two catches for 28 yards.
  • Los Angeles defeated Baltimore 17-3 to move to 4-2 behind a Matthew Stafford touchdown pass, a Kyren Williams rushing score, and a defense that forced key turnovers.
  • Sean McVay said postgame it is an ankle injury and he is unsure if Nacua will play in Week 7 in London against the Jaguars.
  • Entering Week 6, Nacua led the NFL with 52 receptions and 588 yards, reflecting strong chemistry with Matthew Stafford alongside Davante Adams’ complementary role.
