Puka Nacua's absence raises doubts about Rams' playoff hopes

The Los Angeles Rams are facing challenges this season, currently with a 1-2 record, as star receiver Puka Nacua's injury sidelines him. Coach Sean McVay previously emphasized Nacua's importance, indicating that quarterback Matthew Stafford's performance suffers without him. As Nacua considers his future and potential contract negotiations, it remains uncertain whether he will return in Week 4 or require surgery that could keep him out for up to six weeks. The Rams' management faces pressure to address Nacua’s status, knowing he could attract top offers as a free agent if he remains healthy.
