Rams HC Sean McVay said he was “hopeful” WR Puka Nacua (groin) will be able to play in Week 4 against the Eagles. 2026-09-28 19:00:02 We continue to get very little concrete news from McVay and the Rams regarding the injury, expected status, or recovery timeline for star wide receiver Puka Nacua. The most conclusive information given the previous two weeks is that the groin injury Nacua is dealing with is not related to the psoas injury he dealt with this offseason, although some have speculated that the verbiage used to describe the injury sounded like a sports hernia. Even that is pure speculation. Fantasy managers are left waiting in the holding pattern for more concrete news from their first-round fantasy selection. Davante Adams would clearly be in line to benefit from another absence after setting a career-high in receiving yards in consecutive games the previous two weeks. |

Rams WR Puka Nacua (groin) is inactive for Week 3 against the Broncos. 2026-09-27 20:00:03 Nacua came into the weekend listed as doubtful but was seen working out before the game to see if he would be able to go. He’ll ultimately be held out for the second consecutive game as the Rams look to improve to 2-1. Davante Adams vaults into the top-tier WR1 range in Nacua’s absence. Also inactive for the Rams are DB Kam Kinchens, WR CJ Daniels, WR Tutu Atwell, QB Ty Simpson, S Maximus Pulley, and OL Bill Murray |

ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports surgery is “not entirely off the table” for Puka Nacua (hip). 2026-09-27 09:00:02 Schefter noted that the team doesn’t believe he will need surgery, but it could be an option if things don’t improve. The team is listing it as a hip injury, but the main issue has been a groin injury which would presumably require core muscle surgery. That would sideline him for multiple months. Schefter added that Nacua could return as soon as Week 4 if he does improve. Nacua did not practice once this week before being listed as doubtful versus Denver. Nacua’s short and long-term status hangs in the balance right now. It sounds like we’ll know pretty soon whether this is a lost season or not. |

Rams WR Puka Nacua (hip) is doubtful to play in Week 3 against the Broncos, but should play in Week 4 against the Eagles, barring a setback. 2026-09-25 15:00:03 Nacua will not practice today, either. The bad news comes straight from Rams coach Sean McVay. With Nacua sidelined, WR Davante Adams must be treated as a fantasy football WR1 and TE Terrance Ferguson can be expected to operate as the team’s No. 2 pass catcher. He is a worthwhile TE1 starter. |

Rams WR Puka Nacua (hip) did not practice on Thursday. 2026-09-24 21:00:03 Nacua seems unlikely to play in Week 3 against the Broncos. Rams coach Sean McVay said earlier today that Nacua is “not making great progress,” and his practice participation level reflects that. Rams WR Davante Adams can be treated as a WR1 this week if Nacua is unable to play. |
