The Rams left Los Angeles today as the team is set to do battle against the Seahawks on Sunday. Entering the game with the potential to be the top team in the NFC West, the Rams got good news as star receiver Puka Nacua is expected to play, per Dianna Russini of The Athletic.

As mentioned above, Nacua was on the flight to Seattle and the Rams listed him as questionable on Friday’s injury report. Nacua suffered a slight injury to his knee on Thursday, the same knee he injured in the Rams’ Week 1 matchup against Detroit.
Rams head coach Sean McVay has downplayed the severity of the injury, stating that there was nothing structurally wrong with it and quite frankly, until Nacua plays full-contact football, his availability will be on a play-by-play basis.
However, this is a positive sign, especially for a team that is just finding its stride.
