Rams' Puka Nacua faces injury concern amid Myles Garrett's absence
Summary

Puka Nacua did not return to practice with the Los Angeles Rams on August 13 due to lower abdominal soreness.

Nacua's situation follows the ongoing issue with teammate Myles Garrett, who is dealing with knee problems and has been sidelined for multiple practice sessions. Garrett has been reported to be around 85% health and is also expected to miss more practice time moving forward. McVay anticipates that Nacua may resume practicing next week, although similar expectations were set for Garrett, indicating uncertainty around both players' statuses.
