Rams place Puka Nacua on injured reserve, Myles Garrett likely to play

The Los Angeles Rams have placed wide receiver Puka Nacua on injured reserve, creating a roster spot for Brennan Presley ahead of their game against the Arizona Cardinals on November 15, 2026. Nacua is expected to be sidelined for at least four weeks. Coach Sean McVay indicated that Garrett is likely to play despite a knee issue, while rookie C.J. Daniels Jr. will take on a larger role in the absence of Nacua and Davante Adams. The Rams are also dealing with injuries to offensive lineman Steve Avila and tight end Terrance Ferguson, with other players listed as questionable. McVay emphasized the need for effective communication from quarterback Matthew Stafford during the game, particularly against the Cardinals' aggressive defense.
