Rams WR Puka Nacua misses practice with a hip injury

Nacua’s hip injury leaves his status uncertain after he led the Rams with 5 catches for 74 yards in Week 1.

  • Defensive lineman Aaron Donald plans to make his season debut for the Los Angeles Rams during Monday night's home opener at SoFi Stadium against the New York Giants. Donald confirmed Friday he intends to play after ending a two-year retirement.
  • The Rams' defense faces a significant challenge following the loss of Myles Garrett, who is sidelined for at least four weeks after undergoing knee surgery. Garrett's absence increases reliance on Donald to anchor the defensive line.
  • Wide receiver Puka Nacua missed Friday's practice with a hip injury, leaving his availability for Monday night in question. The Pro Bowl standout led the team with five receptions for 74 yards in last week's loss.
  • Head coach Sean McVay continues to monitor player health day-by-day, while teammates described Donald's expected return as an emotional lift. The team aims to rebound from their 27-7 season-opening defeat in Melbourne, Australia.
  • The 0-1 Rams need a victory to stabilize their 2026 campaign while hosting the New York Giants at SoFi Stadium on Monday. The Giants enter following an impressive opening win against the Dallas Cowboys.
