Rams rookie Puka Nacua leaving no doubt about his toughness

INGLEWOOD, Calif. -- Rookie receiver Puka Nacua has outplayed all expectations of a fifth-round draft pick this season, but the Los Angeles Rams had a scary moment with their young star in the second quarter when he left the game with injuries to his ribs and shoulder.

After making a 20-yard catch on the Cleveland Browns sideline, Nacua said he landed on the ball as he fell to the ground, causing the injuries. Nacua stayed down on the sideline and was checked out by the Rams' medical staff before slowly walking off the field.
