The Los Angeles Rams have been dealt a blow to their receiving corps, as rookie receiver Puka Nacua has been sidelined with a rib injury. Nacua was injured during the Rams’ Week 13 matchup against the Cleveland Browns and had to be carted off the field.
Nacua had been making an impact in his first season with the Rams, catching 11 passes for 174 yards and two touchdowns. He had been a reliable target for quarterback Jared Goff, and his absence was felt in the Rams’ offense.
Fortunately, the injury wasn’t as serious as initially feared, and Nacua was able to return to the field in Week 15. He made an immediate impact, catching four passes for 58 yards and a touchdown in the Rams’ win over the New York Jets.
Nacua’s return is a huge boost for the Rams’ offense, as they look to make a playoff push. His presence gives Goff another reliable target in the passing game, and his ability to make plays after the catch will be a welcome addition.
The Rams have been dealing with injuries all season long, but Nacua’s return is a major boost for their offense. His presence will be a huge help as they make a push for the playoffs, and his ability to make plays will be a major asset for the Rams.
