The Los Angeles Rams finally crossed the .500 mark on the 2026 season over the weekend, defeating the Washington Commanders in narrow fashion on the road. While Myles Garrett returned to the lineup in this one and put up a monster performance, wide receiver Puka Nacua went down with a concerning knee injury.
The team thankfully doesn't believe that it is a torn ACL for Nacua, but recently, former NFL quarterback and current ESPN talking head Dan Orlovsky still put the pressure on the Rams' front office to make a move in response to the injury during an appearance on The Pat McAfee Show.
“The Los Angeles Rams need to trade for a wide receiver.. Whether Puka Nacua is healthy or not they should be active in the trade market,” said Orlovsky, per Pat McAfee on X, formerly Twitter.
Orlovsky isn't the only pundit to express the sentiment, as the Rams aren't exactly rife with options at the wide receiver position with both Nacua and Davante Adams dealing with injuries.
Quarterback Matthew Stafford has started to turn things around a bit in recent weeks, but he's still been a far cry from his MVP performance from a season ago, and having another weapon in the wide receiver room would certainly help out the veteran amid his turbulent season.
Meanwhile, the Rams' defense is starting to round into form, especially now that Garrett is back in the fold, as the superstar recorded three sacks during Sunday's game against the Commanders.
In any case, the Rams will next hit the field next Sunday for a divisional road game against the Arizona Cardinals. Kickoff is set for 4:05 pm ET.
