Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Puka Nacua is facing a significant injury setback due to a PCL sprain in his right knee. Coach Sean McVay indicated that Nacua's injury is 'unique' and may require more than the standard four games on injured reserve. The Rams have a Week 6 bye, which could provide additional time for Nacua's recovery, but his return is uncertain. In the meantime, Cooper Kupp will take on the primary receiving role, with Tyler Johnson and Demarcus Robinson stepping up in Nacua's absence.
- Nacua's injury may keep him out longer than expected.
- The Rams' Week 6 bye could aid in his recovery.
- Cooper Kupp is now the clear top receiver for the Rams.
