Random Ramsdom: Puka Nacua left practice early

Los Angeles Rams News and Links for 11/1/24

Puka Nacua left Thursday’s Rams practice early with an injury, but the situation was later reported to not be that serious.How serious is it? But if it causes Nacua to miss time then I think it’s fair to say it is pretty serious.

Can the Rams win without Nacua? Yes. They won a Super Bowl without him a few years ago, but that was then and this is now. LA is better with Nacua than without. It’s not rocket science, it’s football.

Happy Friday, hope you enjoyed your Halloween. Please comment on whatever you’d like and thanks for checking out Turf Show Times!

Rams’ Puka Nacua: Injury not viewed as serious (cbssports)

“Nacua’s knee injury is not considered major, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.

There was serious concern about Nacua after he was limited in Thursday’s practice due to an aggravation of the knee injury that sidelined him for five games earlier this season. However, the team expects Nacua to be fine. It’s unclear whether that means he’ll be available for a Week 9 matchup against the Seahawks, though his level of participation in Friday’s practice should provide at least some clue.”

“Rams receiver Puka Nacua left practice Thursday because of a right-knee injury, a team official said.

Nacua, who had a record-setting rookie season in 2023, was sidelined for five games this season because of an injury to the same knee that he sustained during a joint practice with the Chargers and aggravated in the opener against the Detroit Lions.

Nacua returned for the Rams’ Oct. 24 game against the Minnesota Vikings and caught seven passes for 106 yards.”

Seahawks look to get ground game going against LA Rams (apnews)

“Coach Mike Macdonald has faith the Seattle Seahawks are going to get their ground game going.

The Seahawks have lost four of five after a 3-0 start and hope to shift the season back in their favor on Sunday at home against their NFC West rival, the Los Angeles Rams. A key to putting the season back on track is clearly the running game.

Seattle has the league’s No. 1 passing offense, led by veteran quarterback Geno Smith. But rushing-wise, the Seahawks are managing an average of just 89.3 yards on the ground per game. Only four teams in the league have lower averages.”
