LOS ANGELES — Puka Nacua won’t follow on Friday after banging his proper knee throughout follow on Thursday, however head coach Sean McVay stated he “would not wager towards” the Los Angeles Rams huge receiver taking part in on Sunday towards the Seattle Seahawks.
Nacua left follow early on Thursday after he “banged his knee [on the ground] just a bit bit,” McVay stated. “Luckily there’s nothing structurally [wrong],” McVay stated. He’ll be listed as questionable, however I would not wager towards this man. My expectation is he’ll do every thing in his energy to be able to roll and that is the mindset that we have now.”
Nacua first injured his proper knee throughout a joint follow on Aug. 4 towards the Los Angeles Chargers and missed three weeks of follow with the harm. He then aggravated the harm within the Rams’ season opener and spent the subsequent 5 weeks on injured reserve.
Nacua was activated from IR for Week 8 towards the Minnesota Vikings and had seven catches for 106 yards.
McVay stated Nacua won’t follow on Friday in an effort to “be sensible with him, get him turned over and attempt to get that knee feeling nearly as good as doable for sport day.” He can be listed as questionable on the harm report.
The Rams’ head coach stated whereas the harm scare on Thursday is not splendid, “it is completely different” than the primary two instances Nacua has injured his proper knee “with reference to what the MRIs and what the scans present.”
In two video games this season, Nacua has 11 catches for 141 yards. As a rookie final season, Nacua set information for essentially the most receptions (105) and receiving yards (1,486) for a rookie in NFL historical past.
