Rams WR Puka Nacua Doubtful to Play vs. Broncos
Sean McVay said Nacua is doubtful for Sunday night and the Rams are not considering injured reserve, which would sideline him at least four more games.
- Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Puka Nacua will miss Sunday's game against the Denver Broncos due to groin soreness, though head coach Sean McVay targets a Week 4 return against the Philadelphia Eagles.
