Rams expect Adams return as Nacua faces weeks out with knee injury
Los Angeles Rams coach Sean McVay said the team expects wide receiver Davante Adams to return soon, but rookie Puka Nacua will miss several weeks with a knee injury. Nacua suffered a knee injury on the final offensive snap of the Rams' win over Washington on November 8, according to Rams Wire, and an MRI was scheduled for the following. Two days later the Rams placed him on injured reserve with knee sprains and a turf-toe injury, NBC Sports reported.
McVay said he repeatedly re-examined the play call that led to the injury, also reported by NBC Sports. ESPN reporter Dan Graziano said the team remains hopeful Nacua could return around weeks 14-15 and would not miss the rest of the regular season, NBC Sports added. Despite the earlier IR move, McVay later announced the rookie would stay on the 53-man roster while recovering, NBC Sports noted.
