Puka Nacua Limited Again With Knee Injury
1 year agoLos Angeles Rams rookie wide receiver Puka Nacua (knee) was listed as a limited participant in practice for the second straight day on Thursday. Head coach Sean McVay said earlier this week that Nacua came out of the Week 8 loss to the Dallas Cowboys with a little bit of knee swelling, but he seems to be on track to play this Sunday against the Green Bay Packers. Fantasy managers would surely like to see the 23-year-old rookie sensation return to a full practice on Friday, though. Nacua hasn't looked like a rookie at all in 2023, catching a whopping 61 passes for 795 yards and two touchdowns on 89 targets in eight games. It helped that Cooper Kupp missed the first four games of the year due to a hamstring injury, but Nacua has remained productive with Kupp in the lineup, too. However, both Nacua and Kupp could have even lower ceilings and floors this weekend if quarterback Matthew Stafford (thumb) is unable to play.
