Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Puka Nacua is one of the game’s most productive wide receivers. Nacua is second in the NFL in receiving yards per game, averaging 101.6 yards per game, as he’s recorded 61 catches for 711 yards and three touchdowns.
Looking to put on another historic season, Nacua suffered a Week 6 injury against the Baltimore Ravens, left the game, and was forced to sit out the following week against the Jacksonville Jaguars. This wasn’t the only injury he’s suffered so far this season.
Puka Nacua Injury Update
After returning from a game and a half absence with an ankle injury suffered against the Batlimore Ravens earlier this Sunday, Puka Nacua was unable to finish Sunday’s game against the New Orleans Saints.
In the third quarter, Nacua landed awkwardly on his chest, and was slow to get up. He left the game and did not return with a ‘chest injury.’

Is Puka Nacua Playing This Week?
Despite not being able to return in Sunday’s game, Puka Nacua should be good to go for this Sunday’s game against the San Francisco 49ers in Week 10.

Sunday’s game is pivotal for both NFC West teams, as the Rams (6-2) are currently a half game ahead of the 49ers (6-3) in standings. Having Nacua inactive would be a huge blow for LA.
