Rams WR Puka Nacua was ejected from Sunday’s game against the Seahawks for throwing a punch.

Following Matthew Stafford’s interception, Nacua threw a punch at Seahawks cornerback Coby Bryant, who shoved him during the run back by Riq Wooten. Nacua was given an unsportsmanlike penalty and the referees deemed it worthy of an ejection. Nacua is the second player in this late window to be thrown out, joining Lions safety Brian Branch.

The Rams are expected to have WR Puka Nacua (knee) available for Sunday’s game against the Seahawks.

Nacua suffered a knee injury during practice this week but the injury was not expected to be considered serious. According to Russini, Nacua is on the team plane to Seattle. If Nacua can go, he will be one of the better fantasy options. He is currently WR18 on our board in a pretty favorable matchup against the Seahawks.

Now official: The Rams have activated Puka Nacua from injured reserve. Don’t expect him to play a normal snap count tonight, but another boost for L.A. nonetheless.

Signs point toward this being a heavy Cooper Kupp game, but it's obviously nice to see Nacua healthy enough to suit up. Keep Nacua on benches unless you're incredibly desperate, but things are looking up for the offense moving forward.

Los Angeles has designated receiver Puka Nacua for return from injured reserve, opening his 21-day practice window.

He participated in Tuesday’s session.

Nacua has been sidelined since suffering a knee injury during the team’s loss to Detroit in Week 1. He caught four passes for 35 yards and took a 7-yard carry in the season-opener, the story said. There is no word about when Puka can take the field again, but the Rams are expected to have Cooper Kupp back for Thursday's game.

TheAthletic.com reports that the Rams have spoken to multiple teams about trading Cooper Kupp, who has been out since Week Two with an ankle injury.

Per the report, the Rams are looking for a second-round pick in return for the wideout and that they are open to pay some of Kupp’s remaining salary for the 2024 season as part of the deal, the story said. Kupp is expected to play Thursday night and that game could very week be a showcase for the veteran WR. There are several WR-needy teams at this point in the season and teams have been in contact with the Rams about Kupp, according to the story. The Rams have just two wins this season and Nacua has been designated to return from his injury. The team also has Atwell and Whittington who are still young but seem to be developing because of having to play the last several weeks.

Rams WR Cooper Kupp will workout with trainers today but no determination has been made about his availability for Sunday’s game against Raiders, McVay said. Puka Nacua will not practice this week.

There was some hope before the bye week that Kupp would be ready to go in Week 7, and that still looks like it could be possible, however certainly not a lock at this point. Owners will want to monitor Kupp's status leading up to Week 7 games. The Rams host the Raiders in a later Sunday game, so the matchup would be a nice one, but waiting on Kupp will come with risks if he's a game-time call. If Kupp can't go, the Rams have been going with a combination of Robinson, Atwell, Whittington and Johnson at the wideout position, all of which come with their own risks if in your lineup.

Cooper Kupp has missed three games, and the Rams are on their off week this week.

Rams coach Sean McVay said Monday that Kupp’s return for Week 7 would be “an ideal target” but “by no means is that guaranteed.”

Kupp has not played since Week 2 when he injured his ankle against the Cardinals. The Rams did not place him on injured reserve, hoping he would miss fewer than four games, the story said. Kupp's return will help a banged up Rams WR group that still has Nacua out of commission. Whittington went for 7-89-0 and was targeted 10 times as well Atwell who finished 6-58-0 last week. Robinson had the lone TD catch but had a 3-28-1 line on five targets. Parkinson was targeted a team-high 13 times and went for 7-52-0.

Rams head coach Sean McVay said that wide receiver Cooper Kupp and left guard Jonah Jackson are both set to miss extended time after suffering injuries in Sunday’s loss to the Cardinals. Kupp hurt his ankle and Jackson aggravated a shoulder injury.

McVay also confirmed that safety John Johnson will miss multiple weeks with a shoulder injury. He called all three players candidates for injured reserve.

With Nacua already on IR, the Rams offense is taking another hit with the loss of Kupp. Robinson and Johnson could take over as the team's top two, but those of you in the dynasty community may be high on Whittington, who has drawn comparisons to Nacua. Any of the three are worth picking up, and could get significant time over the next month at least.

McVay clarifies, Puka Nacua will go to IR. He will miss four games minimum.

The news seemed to get worse for Nacua very quickly, going from week to week, to an IR candidate to now being placed on IR. The rest of the post went on to say Nacua aggravated his previous injury in a “more significant” manner. Rodrigue has reported many times that Johnson and Whittington have backed up Nacua. Atwell will probably get more snaps as well, according to Rodrigue. Johnson had a nice game behind Cooper Kupp in Week 1, but Whittington has been talked about in the dynasty community as a sleeper.

Nacua is still going through additional testing, according to Schefter. He is expected to be considered week to week, per sources. That likely means his Week 2 status is in doubt. The Rams are at Arizona in Week 2 in a later afternoon game, so owners will need a backup plan. Kupp took advantage with 14 catches and 110 yards and could do so again in Week 2 if Nacua is out of action. The Rams could look to Johnson (5-79-0), Robinson and Parkinson at TE to make up for the loss of Nacua, much like they did in Week 1. Whittington, who is a rookie, is another name to watch.
