Puka Nacua sparked concern across Los Angeles late in the Rams' win over the Detroit Lions after going down with an apparent leg injury. With the Rams closing in on a playoff berth, attention quickly shifted from the scoreboard to the status of their star wide receiver.
The incident occurred with under five minutes remaining at SoFi Stadium. Nacua was twisted awkwardly during a tackle and absorbed a heavy hit while going to the turf. He initially tried to stand with help from a teammate before collapsing back down, prompting head coach Sean McVay to step onto the field as trainers assessed him.
