Rams Believe Nacua Avoided ACL Tear but Schedule Knee MRI

Rams receiver Puka Nacua injured his knee on the final offensive play of Sunday’s 20-13 win over the Commanders, a five-yard rushing attempt after a standout game in which he caught 14 passes for 150 yards and a touchdown. Los Angeles does not believe he tore his ACL, but an MRI scheduled for Monday will determine the injury’s severity. Nacua’s availability is especially important with Davante Adams on injured reserve and the Rams short on proven receiving options; the team visits Arizona next week and has a bye in Week 11.
