Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Puka Nacua is expected to return to full practice on Thursday ahead of a Week 4 matchup against the Philadelphia Eagles. Offensive coordinator Nate Scheelhaase noted that Nacua showed an encouraging sign during Wednesday's limited session by twisting to catch a throw behind him. Nacua had missed the Rams' previous two games due to an ongoing hip and groin issue.

Head coach Sean McVay expressed confidence in Nacua's availability following a positive pregame workout in Denver and Wednesday's walkthrough. Nacua recorded five catches for 74 yards in Week 1 before his absence. Quarterback Matthew Stafford praised the wideout's impact, though the Rams will finalize his official game status later in the week.
