Rams WR Puka Nacua left Sunday’s game against the Lions with a knee injury.

Nacua initially left the game during the second quarter and was being checked out in the medical tent. He attempted to test out the knee and was even back in for a short moment but the Rams ultimately decided to keep Nacua out for the rest of the game after halftime. We’ll hopefully have an update after the game but hopefully the injury isn’t too serious.

Sean McVay says Puka Nacua is practicing fully.

“He’ll be ready to roll.”

There's been a lot of hand-wringing about Nacua's knee injury, and it has dropped him well out of the first round on many occasions. He remains a a fringe WR1 option if he heads into Week 1 fully healthy.

Rams WR Puka Nacua left Sunday's practice about an hour into team drills and was later seen with ice around his right knee.

Head coach Sean McVay said he was "unsure" about what happened to Nacua. Nacua did stay in uniform and his helmet on the sideline but did not return to practice. Hopefully this is minor and the Rams were just being cautious with their young star receiver. Nacua is our WR17.

Tutu Atwell is in the concussion protocol, per Rams spokesperson.

Atwell left the game in the second quarter and it opened the door for Robinson to see more playing time. He finished with a 3-46-1 line on 10 targets. The trend has been for players to miss a game when placed in protocol so this could be a situation to watch heading into Week 15 for Atwell. It would be tough to trust Robinson in typical leagues, especially running behind Kupp and Nacua.

Sean McVay says Puka Nacua has an AC sprain.

Rodrigue went on to say the team may be careful with Nacua with some rest early in the practice week, but she added it sounds like McVay expects him to play Sunday. The Rams have an early game at the Ravens in Week 14.

Sean McVay said WR Cooper Kupp will play on Sunday against Arizona.

With Kupp active, you've got to get him in your lineup. Along with Nacua, they can be considered WR1/2s, with Atwell getting knocked down the pecking order as a desperation FLEX option

WR Cooper Kupp is expected to play against the Eagles barring any setbacks, per sources. The Rams are being cautious, keeping him on a count at practice. I'm told he's felt good enough to extend for the football, even making a one-handed grab.

Kupp has been back at practice this week and figures to be playing a majority of snaps in Week 5. After how well Nacua has performed, we should still keep him on fantasy radars, while Atwell will be a very difficult player to start as the WR3 behind two target hogs.

WR Cooper Kupp is pushing to play against the Eagles. The Rams, of course, want to use Kupp on those deep over routes and will test it out to see if he can get close to max speed. The better news is I'm told the injury was not as serious (in terms of long term) as initially feared.

If the team is concerned about how he can run specific routes, this still feels early, but Kupp has surprised us before. It would be hard to keep him on the bench if he is active, but this will assuredly cut into Nacua's record-breaking pace as the best fantasy story of the young season.

A game against the Indianapolis Colts on Sunday is the last one that Rams star receiver Cooper Kupp is mandated to sit out because he is on injured reserve. But there is no guarantee that Kupp will return from his hamstring injury for the Oct. 8 game against the Philadelphia Eagles. Coach Sean McVay said Wednesday it is “the hope” that Kupp will play against the Eagles but stopped short of proclaiming it a done deal.

The 2021 NFL offensive player of the year suffered a season-ending ankle injury last year. Early in training camp, he suffered the hamstring injury that caused him to be placed on injured reserve.

It sounds as if the team will shoot for next week, but there is no guarantee on when he could return. Week 6 vs. the Arizona Cardinals feels the most likely.

Rookie WR Puka Nacua (oblique) will be listed as questionable for Sunday’s game against the 49ers, but Sean McVay said the Rams are expecting him to be ready to go.

Nacua was a DNP for the last two days, so this is fantastic news. His Week 1 performance was surprising and maybe not sustainable (40.5% target share), but he should absolutely be in fantasy consideration if he's ready by Sunday.
