Puka Nacua is unlikely to play in the Rams’ Week 3 Sunday Night Football game against the Broncos due to a hip/groin issue, with coach Sean McVay listing him as doubtful after not practicing all week. If he sits, he’s expected to be back for Week 4 versus the Eagles, barring a setback. The absence would follow his Week 2 sit-out, during which Davante Adams postured for a breakout with eight receptions, 195 yards and two touchdowns, underscoring the potential impact Nabua’s absence would have on the offense. Nacua, who led the league last season with 129 receptions and 1,715 yards, has been held out while the team opts for caution amid concerns he could be nearing a pre-hernia state. The Rams’ Week 1 loss to the 49ers and Nacua’s previous groin discomfort are noted to frame the current decision-making around his availability.
