Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Puka Nacua is likely going on injured reserve due to an MCL/PCL sprain as well as turf toe, head coach Sean McVay said Monday.
The knee sprain happened on the team's final offensive snap in Sunday's win over the Washington Commanders. Nacua rushed for 5 yards on third down before taking a hard hit on the play.
Nacua had 14 catches for 150 yards and a touchdown in the win. He was targeted 19 times by quarterback Matthew Stafford, who remains without his other top receiving option, Davante Adams (hamstring).
Nacua's 25 receptions over the last two games are the second most by a Rams player in the Super Bowl era, according to ESPN Research. In the two-game span, the next-closest Rams players in terms of receptions are Tutu Atwell, Colby Parkinson and Kyren Williams with four each.
If Nacua goes on IR, he will miss a minimum of four games.
