Rams star wide receiver exits practice with knee injury

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Puka Nacua left Thursday’s practice early because of a knee injury, a person with knowledge of the situation confirmed to USA TODAY Sports.

The person spoke on the condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the matter.

It’s not clear the severity of Nacua’s knee injury, but NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reported that Nacua should be OK and the injury isn’t considered major. Rams head coach Sean McVay is scheduled to speak to reporters during his weekly press conference on Friday.

Nacua’s battled knee injuries throughout this season. He originally suffered a knee injury in camp then aggravated it during the team’s Week 1 loss to the Detroit Lions. The Rams subsequently placed Nacua on injured reserve.

They activated Nacua before the team’s Week 8 game against the Minnesota Vikings. He produced a team-best seven catches and 106 receiving yards in a victory. The wideout has 11 catches and 141 receiving yards in two games this year.

Nacua and teammate Cooper Kupp, the 2021 Offensive Player of the Year, have only played in two games together this season.

Nacua set the rookie single-season record for most receptions (105) and receiving yards (1,486) in 2023. The Rams drafted Nacua in the fifth round last year.

The Rams travel to Seattle to take on the Seahawks on Sunday.
