Rams wide receiver Puka Nacua is doubtful for the upcoming Week 3 matchup against the Broncos, as he continues to recover from a hip injury. He missed the previous game and did not practice on Friday. Coach Sean McVay indicated that Nacua could return in Week 4 against the Eagles if he avoids any setbacks. Nacua's injury has been accompanied by groin soreness, although McVay clarified that it is not a hernia. Without Nacua, the Rams will rely on other receivers to fill the gap.
