Rams expect Puka Nacua to play in Week 4

Published September 30, 2026 05:00 PM It looks like wide receiver Puka Nacua will be back in the Rams’ lineup this week. Nacua has missed the last two games and the last two weeks of practice with what’s been referred to as both a hip and a groin injury, but head coach Sean McVay said at a press conference that he will take part in Wednesday’s practice on a limited basis. McVay also said that he expects Nacua to play against the Eagles in Philadelphia on Sunday. That will be a welcome development for the Rams as they try to even their record at 2-2. Konata Mumpfield had four catches for 93 yards and a touchdown against the Broncos in Week 3, but Davante Adams has carried a heavy load with Nacua out and the Rams’ overall offensive capabilities will be raised if they have both of the wideouts on the field this weekend.
