The injury bug has hit the LA Rams harder than any other NFL team this season, with star WR Puka Nacua being the first big name to go down for Sean McVay’s squad. Fantasy football owners and Rams fans alike are eagerly awaiting Nacua’s return to the field.
“As an athlete, you never want to be sidelined with an injury,” Nacua said. “But I’m working hard to get back out there as soon as possible.”
Nacua was placed on the injured reserve list following his right PCL injury, which is expected to sideline him for at least four games. However, ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported that Nacua could miss between 5-7 weeks, indicating a longer recovery period.
With the earliest potential return date for Nacua being on Sunday, October 20 in Week 7 against the Raiders, the Rams will likely take a cautious approach to his injury recovery.
“There’s no rush for me to come back before I’m fully healed,” Nacua stated. “I trust the team’s medical staff and I’m focused on returning to the field when I’m 100%.”
Looking ahead, the most likely return date for Nacua appears to be Sunday, November 3 when the Rams face the Seahawks in Seattle. Despite the challenging road to recovery, Nacua remains optimistic about his comeback.
“I’m taking it one day at a time and staying positive,” Nacua added. “I can’t wait to be back out there doing what I love.”
