Los Angeles Rams WR Puka Nacua (knee) could be sidelined for five to seven weeks as he recovers from a posterior cruciate ligament injury, according to multiple sources.
Huddle Up: Since Nacua has already been placed on injured reserve, the earliest he could have returned is Week 7's game versus the Las Vegas Raiders, following the Rams' bye in Week 6. However, sources now believe his availability for this game and Week 8 against the Minnesota Vikings are in question. WR Demarcus Robinson should see more targets in Nacua's absence but WR Cooper Kupp is the club's only must-start option in fantasy leagues.

Updating a previous report, Los Angeles Rams WR Puka Nacua (knee) will be placed on the Reserve/Injured list and will be sidelined for at least four games, according to head coach Sean McVay.
Huddle Up: Demarcus Robinson and Tyler Johnson likely will be more involved in the passing game while Nacua is sidelined. Both players are coming off solid Week 1 performances and could be short-term flex options in deeper leagues. Cooper Kupp is the only weekly starting option among the Rams receivers.

Los Angeles Rams WR Puka Nacua (knee) suffered sprained posterior cruciate ligament during the Week 1 game and is a candidate for the Reserve/Injured list, according to head coach Sean McVay.
Huddle Up: Nacua would be sidelined for at least four weeks if he placed on IR, so fantasy players need other players while Nacua is sidelined. Demarcus Robinson probably will receive a few more targets while Nacua is out and could be a flex option in some leagues. Cooper Kupp is the only Rams receiver that is a must-start option at this point.

Los Angeles Rams WR Puka Nacua (knee) re-aggravated his previous knee injury and is considered week-to-week, according to sources Monday, Sept. 9.
Huddle Up: This is a tough blow for Nacua, who was primed for another huge season. It's encouraging that it's not a long-term injury, but managers may need to see if Demarcus Robinson is available as a WR3 option.

Los Angeles Rams WR Puka Nacua (knee) will undergo testing on his knee Monday, Sept. 9.
Huddle Up: Nacua is battling an injury to the same knee he had issues with in training camp. He left the game and returned for one more play before exiting again via a cart. If he's forced to miss time, Tyler Johnson and Demarcus Robinson are next up. Each had seven targets Sunday night. Johnson had a 63-yard catch while going 5-79-0, and Robinson went 4-42-0. Both will be flex candidates.

Updating a previous report, Los Angeles Rams WR Puka Nacua (knee) left the Week 1 game against the Detroit Lions in the first half due to a knee injury, and he will not return.
Huddle Up: What a difference a year makes. Nacua burst onto the scene in Week 1 last season with Cooper Kupp sidelined. Now, it's Kupp who will have to step up, with Demarcus Robinson likely seeing more responsibilities. Look for Davis Allen, Tyler Johnson and Colby Parkinson to also see some additional looks in the pass game with Nacua on the shelf, too.

Los Angeles Rams WR Puka Nacua (knee) left the Week 1 game against the Detroit Lions in the first half due to a knee injury, and he is listed as questionable to return.
Huddle Up: Nacua had four receptions for a team-best 35 yards before his departure. If he is forced to miss the remainder of the game, Demarcus Robinson would likely slot in as the second receiver behind Cooper Kupp, while Davis Allen and Colby Parkinson could also potentially see more targets.

Los Angeles Rams WR Puka Nacua (knee) practiced in full for the third straight day on Friday, Sept. 6, and has been removed from the injury report ahead of Week 1.
Huddle Up: There was never really any concern about Nacua after he logged a full practice to begin the week. After a great rookie campaign, Nacua is a WR1 ahead of a potential shootout against the Detroit Lions.

Los Angeles Rams OL Rob Havenstein (ankle) was limited at practice on Friday, Sept. 6, and is listed as questionable for Week 1. In addition, OL Jonah Jackson (shoulder), WR Puka Nacua (knee) and CB Cobie Durant (hamstring) practiced in full and were removed from the injury report.
