Puka Nacua Injury Update: Monday 9/21/26 vs. Giants

UPDATE: Nacua is on the field for pregame warm ups.

Puka Nacua is dealing with a hip injury and is officially listed as questionable ahead of Monday Night Football against the New York Giants. Nacua did not practice on Friday or Saturday ahead of the home opener for Los Angeles.

Early on Monday, ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported on the Pat McAfee show that Puka Nacua is “trending towards not playing”.

While that’s certainly not a good sign, the Rams will likely let Nacua test the injury out pregame and see if he is healthy enough to go.

In Week 1, Nacua only caught five of his nine targets for 74 yards as the Rams struggled offensively in Australia against the 49ers. Nacua would have hoped for a big bounce back game on prime time in front of his home fans, but whether or not he will get the opportunity to do that remains to be seen. If he can’t go, expect Davante Adams to be the focal point of the passing attack while Konata Mumpfield could see more opportunities.

Stay tuned to DK Network for live updates on his injury status.
