Los Angeles Rams receiver Puka Nacua is headed to the locker room in the second half against the New Orleans Saints on Sunday. Nacua reportedly suffered a chest injury and is questionable to return.
Sunday marked the return of Nacua after he suffered an ankled injury in Week 6. So far he had seven catches for 95 yards and a touchdown as the Rams held a 27-10 lead at the start of the fourth quarter.
With the game still in hand, Nacua never ended up coming back on the field, though he did emerge from the locker room and rejoin his teammates on the sidelines. The Rams went on to win 34-10 and coach Sean McVay told reporters postgame that the star receiver could have re-entered if the contest were more competitive.
Nacua was looking like one of the best receivers in the NFL through the first six games of the season, totaling 54 catches for 616 yards and a pair of touchdowns. Based on Sunday’s performance, he seemed to pick up right where he left off and we’ll hope for the best on his health.
