Rams rule out Puka Nacua for 'Monday Night Football' vs. Giants

After a modest performance in the team's 27-7 loss to the 49ers, in which he caught five passes for 74 yards, Nacua was able to get on the practice field Thursday. But the wideout unexpectedly did not practice Friday, with head coach Sean McVay saying Nacua "didn't feel totally like himself" during Thursday's practice. The Rams eventually listed Nacua on the team's injury report with a hip issue.

After Nacua failed to practice Saturday, McVay added another ailment to the list, saying Nacua was dealing with "a little bit of soreness" to his groin, per ESPN. Despite not practicing both days, Nacua was listed as questionable on the team's final injury report before Monday.

It's a concerning development for Nacua, who already had additional days to recover following the team's Week 1 game against the 49ers. That game aired Thursday night in the United States, giving Nacua a full 10 days to rest up for Week 2.
