Rams WR Puka Nacua Expected to Be Placed On IR

The Rams are expected to place WR Puka Nacua on injured reserve after he suffered MCL and PCL sprains in his knee, along with turf toe, HC Sean McVay announced Monday.

Nacua suffered the injury during Sunday’s 20-13 victory over the Washington Commanders. The injury happened on LA’s final offensive play, when Nacua took a hit to the knee while carrying the ball on a jet sweep.

McVay said Nacua will be out for a “good amount of time.”

Nacua has been the Rams most productive receiver with 70 catches for 715 yards and 4 TDs. His absence comes at a bad time, as LA’s offense is already without WR Davante Adams, who is also on IR.

Here is a look at the Rams upcoming schedule:

• Nov. 15: at Cardinals
• Nov. 22: BYE WEEK
• Nov. 25: vs. Packers
• Dec. 3: vs. Chiefs
• Dec. 13: at 49ers
• Dec. 20: vs. Cowboys
