Rams expected to place All-Pro Puka Nacua on IR with MCL, PCL sprains
The #Rams are expected to place WR Puka Nacua on Injured Reserve with MCL and PCL sprains, plus turf toe, coach Sean McCay told reporters.
Key points
- pic.twitter.com/WArYrmwr3g — Ian Rapoport (@RapSheet) November 9, 2026 Nacua already missed time earlier in the season with a groin pull, and he has also dealt with a calf strain.
- So, the Rams will certainly be without both of their top receivers when they face the Cardinals next week.
- It will be the first time this year they are without Nacua and Adams for a full game.
Star receiver Davante Adams is already on injured reserve, and now All-Pro receiver Puka Nacua is likely to join him with MCL and PCL sprains and a turf toe.
Nacua suffered the injury on the Rams’ final offensive play against the Washington Commanders when Matthew Stafford handed the ball off to him.
Additional details
- Los Angeles’ next four games are against the Arizona Cardinals, Green Bay Packers, Kansas City Chiefs, and San Francisco 49ers.
- The Los Angeles Rams keep suffering injuries.
- This injury further raises concerns that Los Angeles could miss the playoffs despite getting Myles Garrett back this week.
- At 5-4, they are currently on the outside of the NFC playoff picture as the No.
