The LA Rams are making waves in the NFL again, shaking off early-season injuries and gearing up for a crucial matchup.
While veteran WR Cooper Kupp has been sidelined with a high ankle sprain since Week 2, he’s on the brink of returning. Although he was close to playing against the Raiders, the short week meant he remained inactive.
In a dramatic twist, the Rams are now eyeing the potential return of rookie sensation Puka Nacua as they head into a must-win game. Nacua, who made a splash earlier this season, faced a knee injury that landed him on IR after Week 1. However, recent reports suggest he could be ready to take the field, raising hopes for Rams fans.
Why the last-minute decision on Nacua?
The Rams are weighing his limited practice time and the necessary roster adjustments to activate him. With fellow WR Jordan Whittington ruled out due to a shoulder injury, the urgency to bring Nacua back has increased.
If Nacua does play, he’ll join Kupp and Demarcus Robinson, forming a formidable receiving trio against the Vikings’ defense. The Rams are banking on this lineup to exploit any weaknesses and secure a vital win. Plus, the Thursday Night Football format gives the team extra recovery time for the next game.
Stay tuned as we keep an eye on Nacua’s status leading up to kickoff!
