Rams will place WR Puka Nauca (knee) on IR

Sep 09, 2024

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

Related players: Tyler Johnson, Jordan Whittington, Tutu Atwell

Fantasy Impact:

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.

Browns plan to sign free agent running back Royce Freeman to the practice squad.

Fantasy Impact:

Freeman did pretty well when he saw action with the Rams toward the end of last season. He was with Dallas this summer where he drew some hype, and for about a week the team had us convinced he may see significant action for the Cowboys. However, he was eventually released.

Packers are placing rookie RB MarShawn Lloyd on injured reserve due to an ankle injury.

Fantasy Impact:

Lloyd dealt with a hamstring injury leading up to the season and has now injured his ankle enough to be placed on IR, and he'll miss the next four games. The team did sign Brooks from their practice squad but Wilson looks to be the backup to Jacobs.
