Puka Nacua gets unexpected IR update
Sarah Barshop reports that Sean McVay expects the Los Angeles Rams to avoid putting Puka Nacua on Injured Reserve. Barshop’s tweet indicates that it’s “semantics” that Nacua is missing IR, likely with regard to the Rams only having so many IR sports and too many players being injured. There is also the chance that the Rams are thinking Nacua can suit up in Week 14 against the San Francisco 49ers.
Week 14 may be the earliest Nacua rejoins the Rams as they reportedly expect him to miss “extended time”. Whatever the reason(s), Nacua may have avoided a mandatory missing of four games by staying off IR, and that could be a positive development for the Rams.
