Overview
- The Rams held Nacua out of a midweek jog‑through and listed him limited in practice after he missed Monday’s win over the Giants with hip/groin soreness.
- Head coach Sean McVay said Nacua is “not making great progress,” a comment that, taken with practice reports, has led insiders to say he is likely to miss the Week 3 game in Denver.
- The team and medical staff insist the problem is a soft‑tissue hip/groin issue not a hernia and do not expect a long‑term absence if it is managed with rest.
- Los Angeles adjusted in Week 2 with Davante Adams carrying the passing attack and has prepared game plans that will lean more on Adams and other targets if Nacua is unavailable.
- Nacua’s current setback follows earlier core muscle trouble this summer and a history of lower‑body soft‑tissue injuries, which helps explain why the Rams are choosing a cautious approach to protect his long‑term performance.
