The expectations by the Los Angeles Rams is that Puka Nacua will be suiting up for them in their Week 10 matchup against the San Francisco 49ers. Matthew Stafford has been cooking, but the more talent around him the better.
Puka Nacua to get scan for rib injury but Rams ‘optimistic’ about his status (ramswire)
He didn’t return to the game but still finished with seven catches for 95 yards and a touchdown. Nacua reminded everyone how good he is after a brief absence, and the hope is he’ll be available again on Sunday when the Rams visit the 49ers.
Sean McVay shared an update on Nacua Monday by saying he was scheduled to have a scan for his rib injury. McVay feels “optimistic” about his status moving forward, reiterating the positive outlook he shared after Sunday’s game.“
The Rams have looked like one of the best teams in the NFL the last few weeks, and even if Nacua were to miss any time, there should be an expectation that this offense can and should get it done. In fact, they’ve been spreading the ball around, trying different things and it’s been working.
Rams snap counts: LA continues to diversify on offense in Week 9 (ramswire)
“Tight ends play major role: The Rams keep leaning into their new 13 personnel packages, deploying three tight ends at a time often on Sunday. That gave Tyler Higbee, Colby Parkinson, Davis Allen and Terrance Ferguson all a chance to contribute and they each caught multiple passes for a total of 114 yards receiving. It’s a new dynamic on offense, one previously unseen in Sean McVay’s scheme aside from a few snaps here and there in past years.“
Will the tight ends keep up their high level of play for L.A.?
