Will Puka Nacua play this week? Injury updates for Rams WR

The Loss Angeles Rams may get two top wide receivers back for their Thursday night game with the Minnesota Vikings. Cooper Kupp is a lock to play. However, the buzz from Tom Pelissero is that Puka Nacua could return, too. Matthew Stafford would love to see that.

Update: The Rams have activated Nacua and he is expected to have a “pitch-count” when it comes to the number of plays he will see in the game.

Puka Nacua injury update

The Rams play host to the Vikings. Nacua suffered a knee injury in the first game of the season. He has been rehabbing it and would be a welcome addition to an offense that has struggled.

How long has Puka Nacua been out?

Nacua has been out since injuring his knee in Week One. He was carted off the field during a loss to the Detroit Lions.

Los Angeles Rams’ wide receiver depth chart

Kupp and Nacua would be 1 and 1A on the Rams’ depth chart. Take your pick on which is which. Behind them — a long way when it comes to skill — are Demarcus Robinson, Jordan Whittington and Xavier Smith.
