Puka Nacua misses practice ahead of Broncos-Rams matchup
Summary

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Puka Nacua did not practice on September 23 due to groin soreness, putting his availability for the game against the Denver Broncos on September 27 in question. Rams head coach Sean McVay indicated that while there may be concerns about Nacua, they do not view the injury as long-term. Nacua had already missed the Rams' recent victory against the New York Giants on September 21. Despite Nacua's absence, Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford threw for 327 yards and four touchdowns in that game, showcasing the team's depth. The Broncos are preparing for a challenging match at Empower Field at Mile High, with both teams sitting at 1-1.
