Rams WR Puka Nacua left practice early and later returned to the sideline in his uniform with an ice bag wrapped around his right knee. HC Sean McVay said that he is "not sure" what happened.
What They're Saying
Jourdan Rodrigue: "Puka Nacua left practice a little over an an hour into it after a team drills period, and did not return to play but stayed in uniform and helmet on sideline. He had a bag of ice wrapped around his right knee.
Sean McVay says he is “not sure” what happened."
2024 Fantasy Football Impact
By all accounts, this appears to be relatively minor and there was no moment that seemed to cause this knee injury.
Nacua coming back out in uniform with just a bag of ice wrapped around it indicates that it is likely nothing to worry about.
But, an injury to Nacua would be devastating for fantasy owners drafting him as their WR1 in drafts currently.
The Rams have also been an offense bitten by the injury bug in recent years, so any injury news can set off panic.
We will update this with more details when available, but this does not affect Nacua's impact or ADP at this time.
