Puka Nacua’s Limited Practice Sparks Questions About His Availability for Upcoming Game
Puka Nacua showed up at Wednesday’s practice, but only in a limited role—a detail that immediately sparked a few eyebrows around the Rams’ camp. Officially, the injury report tagged him with a chest issue, but Sean McVay cleared up the fog, pinpointing it to Nacua’s ribs instead. Now, here’s the kicker: after an MRI that delivered “good, positive stuff,” the Rams are eyeing him to take the field come Sunday against the 49ers. That’s a big relief for the offense, no doubt. And speaking of second chances, Darious Williams, nursing a shoulder injury and sidelined last week, also dipped his toes back into practice waters, looking ready to roll. On the flip side, Jordan Whittington’s absence from practice with a back issue throws a slight curveball into the mix. All in all, it’s a snapshot of a team juggling injury riddles but hopeful about its Sunday lineup.
