Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Puka Nacua has been placed on injured reserve after suffering MCL and PCL sprains in his knee along with turf toe, according to ProFootball Talk's Charean Williams.
The second-year standout will miss a minimum of four games while on IR. Nacua emerged as one of the NFL's top rookie receivers last season, setting franchise records for receptions and receiving yards by a rookie.
The combination of ligament sprains and turf toe represents a significant setback for the Rams' offense, which relies heavily on Nacua's production alongside Cooper Kupp. Los Angeles will need to adjust its passing attack during his absence as they navigate a competitive NFC West division race.
