The Story in 60 Seconds

The Los Angeles Rams expect to place All-Pro wide receiver Puka Nacua on injured reserve after he sustained MCL and PCL sprains along with turf toe. Rams head coach Sean McVay confirmed Monday that Nacua will miss at least four games following an injury on the team's final offensive snap during Sunday's 20-13 victory over the Washington Commanders.

Nacua had posted 14 receptions for 150 yards and a decisive fourth-quarter touchdown before being tackled on a late jet sweep. The injury leaves the 5-4 Rams depleted at receiver, with Davante Adams already on injured reserve, prompting McVay to announce that the club will explore adding depth at the position.
