Injured Puka Nacua will miss joint practices, preseason games and most of camp, but Rams coach Sean McVay said the receiver will be ready for the season opener.
Nothing serious. Nothing structurally significant. That’s how Rams coach Sean McVay on Tuesday described the knee injury star receiver Puka Nacua suffered during a joint practice with the Chargers on Sunday. If there is cause for concern — and anything related to injuries and the record-setting Nacua qualifies — McVay masked it.
Nacua’s injury is the latest setback for a Rams offense led by quarterback Matthew Stafford that was expected to be the team’s strength. Starting left tackle Alaric Jackson , starting left guard Jonah Jackson and starting right tackle Rob Havenstein remain sidelined because of injuries suffered during training camp at Loyola Marymount. Will all three be ready for the opener? McVay could not definitively say yes. “I’m going to take it a little bit at a time,” he said.
