Puka Nacua tied the Rams franchise record for 10-catch games Sunday, hauling in 14 passes for 150 yards in a 20-13 win over Washington. The celebration turned sour on the final offensive play when Nacua took a handoff for five yards on third and 11 and came up with a knee injury.
The Rams do not believe it is a torn ACL, per ESPN. Nacua underwent an MRI Monday to determine the full extent of the damage. A source familiar with the situation told PFT: "We will see. Waiting on images."
Any absence would sting deeply. Davante Adams remains on injured reserve with a significant hamstring injury. Behind Nacua, only Konata Mumpfield (two catches, 20 yards) and Tutu Atwell (two catches, 16 yards) recorded receptions Sunday.
The Rams face the Cardinals next Sunday before their Week 11 bye. The thin receiver depth could push Los Angeles toward the trade market for reinforcements.
Mickey's Angle: Monitor Nacua's MRI results closely before touching any Rams passing props; if he sits, the Arizona defense becomes a far more appealing fantasy stream.
