Puka Nacua’s Status in Doubt for RamsLondon Game vs. Jaguars

With scans described as encouraging, the Rams weigh a cautious call given a Week 8 bye.

Overview

  • Nacua missed both Wednesday and Thursday practices while rehabbing his ankle in Baltimore before the team’s trip to London.
  • Coach Sean McVay labeled him day-to-day and said scans were encouraging, stressing the preference for practice reps to ensure return-to-performance.
  • NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport and ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler report Nacua is doubtful or a long shot for Sunday, with a final decision expected after Friday’s work and medical checks.
  • If he sits, Davante Adams is set to lead the receiving corps, with Jordan Whittington, Konata Mumpfield, and a limited-but-working Tutu Atwell among those likely to see more snaps, along with tight ends and backs in the passing game.
  • Through six games Nacua leads the NFL with 54 receptions and has 616 yards, and resting this week would give him the bye to recover before a potential Week 9 return.
