What happened to Puka Nacua? Live injury updates for Commanders vs. Rams on Sunday 11/08/26

UPDATE: Puka Nacua has returned to Sunday’s game.


Puka Nacua has left the game between the Commanders and the Rams this afternoon; he is currently in the medical tent.

Nacua entered Sunday without a game designation; his Friday practice absence was listed as rest.

Nacua has already missed two games this season, but he arrived in Washington with 56 catches for 565 yards and three touchdowns in six appearances. He caught 11 passes for 80 yards and a touchdown in last week’s 24–9 win over the Los Angeles Chargers, following an eight-catch, 68-yard performance with another score against Las Vegas.

Los Angeles is already missing receiver Davante Adams and tight end Terrance Ferguson, both on injured reserve. Losing Nacua for an extended stretch would leave Stafford without either of his leading wideouts.
