Puka Nacua remains doubtful for Rams Week 3 game against Broncos

Los Angeles Rams star wide receiver Puka Nacua remains in doubt for the team’s Week 3 matchup against the Denver Broncos due to ongoing hip and groin soreness. Nacua missed the previous game against the New York Giants and was a non-participant in Wednesday’s team walkthrough.

Head coach Sean McVay stated that while the injury is not considered a long-term threat, the team is erring on the side of caution to ensure the player can return to full performance. McVay clarified that the issue is not a hernia but involves soft tissue soreness that prevents Nacua from reaching full speed.

The injury situation has highlighted depth concerns for the Rams' offense. In Nacua's absence, the team has relied on players like Davante Adams and tight end Terrance Ferguson. Additionally, the Rams' injury report for the week includes tight ends Colby Parkinson and Terrance Ferguson, as well as left tackle Alaric Jackson.
