Rams put Puka Nacua on injured reserve, expect Myles Garrett to play at Arizona
-- The Los Angeles Rams placed wide receiver Puka Nacua on injured reserve to make room for receiver Brennan Presley on the active roster, coach Sean McVay said Friday before the team traveled to Arizona for Sunday’s game against the Cardinals.
Key points
- Garrett expects Arizona to give Beck quick throws and use screens, draws and changes in tempo to slow the Rams’ pass rush.
- McVay also said he expects edge rusher Myles Garrett to play despite a questionable designation.
- “Some things changed where we needed that spot because of the all the moving pieces.” With Nacua and Davante Adams sidelined, the Rams are preparing to give rookie C.J.
Nacua was already expected to miss at least the four games required by the injured reserve designation, McVay said, and will begin his rehabilitation.

Additional details
- He described how Stafford passes along reminders before players break the huddle, a detail that takes on added importance against an Arizona defense that blitzed frequently in the teams’ first meeting in Week 6.
- Garrett said his knee is still short of full strength and that he is working to regain his timing, both in his first step off the snap and when working with the other pass rushers.
- It’s something that I pride myself on, being good at get off.” Garrett and Aaron Donald will face rookie quarterback Carson Beck, who is set to make his first NFL start.
- Garrett said the final two-minute sequence last week left him exhausted and gave him a sense of how much conditioning he still needs to regain.
